Hi Annette White,
Yes, when transferring a commercial freehold property with an unregistered commercial lease in place, the assignment of the lease will represent a separate transfer
of value for capital gains tax purposes.
The freehold and the lease are separate assets and the assignment of the lease is therefore considered to be a separate transaction from the freehold property transfer.
Thank you.

Hi,
If you could call our National Insurance Helpline on 0300 200 3500 (from the UK) or +44 191 203 7010 (from overseas) then they will be able to check the tax year on your National Insurance account.
Thank you.

Hi Patrick,
Each year for National Insurance runs from 06 April to 05 April, if at the end of each year there is a deficit then that year will not qualify.
You cannot accrue the number of weeks over a longer period and will always be over a 52/53 week year.
If you work part time and do not claim any benefits that award credits then yes the year(s) in question will remain non qualifying for state pension purposes.
Thank you.

Hi,
If you could call our National Insurance Helpline on 0300 200 3500 then they will be able to update your daughters National Insurance account with her
current address and issue her National Insurance Number to her.  
Your daughter should be with you when you call.  The other option would be for your daughter to complete and return our form CA5403.  
This form is available via Get your National Insurance number by post
Thank you.

Hi,
HMRC cannot advise on the qualifying conditions for Maternity Allowance, you will need to contact the DWP for this information.
With regard to the payment of Class 2 NICs, this is done through Self Assessment.
To enable us to charge Class 2 NICs, you must have registered to pay them.
The act of merely including income from self employment on your tax return does not constitute a registration.
The process for registering to pay Class 2 NICs can be found on our Pay voluntary Class 2 National Insurance contributions if you do not pay through Self Assessment. 
If you have any queries on the payment of Class 2 NICs you can call the NI helpline on 0300 200 3500. Lines are open 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday.  
However I must stress that they will not be able to advise on Maternity Allowance."
