HMRC Admin 19 Response

Hi judith Waring,

The 18 digit reference number is given for a specific payment. In order to ensure the payment is made to the correct account, and allocated as quickly as possible, you will need to obtain a new 18 digit reference by contacting our National Insurance team.

Thank you.

Hi Dan Hodder,

You do not say which country you are working in, we are therefore unable to provide you with specific timescales.  You can check the following link for the current timescales:

Check when you can expect a reply from HMRC

We are unable to check specific cases on this forum, and the only way you can get an update is by calling us. The phone lines are extremely busy at the moment, but they are open 8 till 6 daily, we recommend you keep trying.

Thank you.
 

Hi,

As a resident of the UK, you should declare the capital gain on the sale of your Brazilian property in a Self Assessment tax return. You can claim Foreign Tax Credit Relief for the foreign tax already paid. You can see guidance here:       

Relief for Foreign Tax Paid 2022 (HS263)                                                                      

 Tax when you sell property            

As regards the transfer of funds from Brazil to your UK bank account, there are no Income Tax implications unless the funds deposited generate interest. You can see information here:                                                               

Tax on savings interest

Thank you.

Hi Kelvin Beer-Jones,

The best, and most convenient way to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions is by contacting National Insurance team.  

National Insurance: general enquiries

Our lines are very busy at the moment, however as the deadline has been extended, this should mean, that everyone has a chance to contact us.

Once you obtain the 18 digit reference you can then use this number to pay online, at your bank, or via online banking.

Thank you.
 

Hi Rafal,

We would not recommend using the details mentioned as a reference number. Please contact our National Insurance team helpline on to obtain the correct reference number. 

National Insurance: general enquiries

The deadline for paying Voluntary National Insurance contributions for years 2006 to 2007 to 2016 to 2017 has been extended to 31 July 2023.

If you are unable to contact us before then the alternative is to send in a cheque. This should be payable to HM Revenue and Customs only and we suggest you note your National Insurance number and the years you are paying on the reverse, as well as including a covering letter with this information. This should be sent to:

HM Revenue and Customs
National Insurance Contributions and Employer Office
BX9 1AN

Thank you.

Hi kristine Hane,

If your details match it could be that the system does not hold enough information to be able to ask you verification questions. We cannot be sure as we are unable to access your record from this forum.

Thank you.
