i applied on 24th sept 2024 using online CF83 to pay my NI shortfall, on my online HMRC , when i 'check progress" still says its in processing stage and not 'Completed' (so may not get processed by April deadline) Question 1. can i pay my shortfall amount now BEFORE i get a confirmation letter that i can pay class 2's i have spoken to the DWP and they have confirmed i only need to pay 6 yrs and the exact amount of class 2's i need to pay (just so that its sat in my a/c before April) then it just needs to be allocated to the years i want to pay (DWP said i can't tell you the years until i get conf. letter?) Question 2. what happens if i DON'T get my confirmation letter in time for April deadline? Can i still pay after the deadline in this case? Question 3. what is the importance of the funds being in my NI a/c before the deadline, does this matter? Please read my questions carefully as the answers you give are very important, i am getting conflicting info from when i ring and speak to HMRC Pens. compared to on here. Deadline fast approaching and i don't want to miss out thank you.

As Pat has said if you click on the link 'there's a different way to pay if you live abroad permanently' it doesn't give any details whatsoever of how to pay differently, it just produces a Guidance on filling CF83 form. which has already been done if your at looking for ways to pay stage. This is not of any use at all and would be better removing the link completely, it's just confusing and promoting doubt into a process that is already confusing enough.

hi, i have received my confirmation letter stating i can pay Class 2 NICs and a list of 16 possible years available, i need to pay 12 yrs only. how do HMRC know which years i have picked? when i pay from my uk Halifax bank all you will have is my ref. field (18 digits) and a total amount paid. this question has been answered before with the 2 different responses "we will use our best judgement to allocate the funds " " ring and speak to the contributions helpline" does that mean verbally they will make a note of the years i choose before i send funds? which of the 2 responses is correct please?
