HMRC Admin 8 Response

Hi,
If you could complete our form CF83 then we will be able to provide you with details of any voluntary National Insurance contributions that you may wish to make.  
As long as we receive your CF83 application form before 5 April 2025 then you will be given extra time to make any payments that you may wish.
If you have already completed the CF83 and wish to make a payment of voluntary contributions then details of how to make these are available via:  Pay voluntary Class 3 National Insurance
 

Hi Lp25
As long as you have registered your name with the DWP Future Pensions for a call back about paying voluntary National Insurance contributions then you will be given extra time to pay any voluntary National Insurance contributions that you wish.  
Thank you.

Hi,
If you have contacted the Department for Work and Pensions and confirmed that the tax years that you are looking to pay will enhance your state pension accordingly, you can ask for a refund of the voluntary National Insurance paid and it would be assessed.
You may also be able to move voluntary National Insurance paid to another tax year if a refund is not applicable.
On the assumption that you have not contacted DWP you can either call them or register an interest for paying voluntary NI before the cut of for older tax years on 5 April 2025:
Contact the Future Pension Centre 
Regarding the transfer of child benefit credits, the application waiting time for transferring Home Responsibility Protection or Credits for Parents and Carers can be checked on the HMRC reply checking tool:
Check when you can expect a reply from HMRC 
Please be advised that the transfer of child benefit credits is dependent on the condition for them to be moved from the child benefit recipient’s account.
Thank you.
 

Hi Brendan Leane,
Since you have completed the DWP call back request form this counts as registering your interest in paying Class 3 Voluntary contributions.
Since you have registered your interest, you will be able to pay the voluntary contributions after the deadline date 5 April 2025.
Thank you.

Hi,
HMRC cannot comment on specific arrangements without undertaking a full National Minimum Wage (NMW) investigation. HMRC can only provide general advice and signpost to the available guidance.  
For NMW purposes, an allowance is a payment which is:
•    attributable to a particular aspect of a worker’s working arrangements, or
•    attributable to his working or personal circumstances,
and
•    not consolidated into standard pay.
When calculating pay the allowance paid by the employer to the worker will initially count towards a worker’s total remuneration. However, if the payment is an allowance for NMW purposes then the amount of the allowance is reduced from the worker’s total remuneration to determine pay for NMW purposes.
Therefore, NMW allowances don’t count towards minimum wage pay unless you consolidate them into the worker’s standard pay or they relate to the worker’s performance.
For more information on what is an allowance for NMW purposes, and a list of indicators of when an allowance is consolidated into standard pay, please visit:
Allowances
Alternatively, if you require any further support, please seek independent legal advice, or contact The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) on 0300 123 1100.
Thank you.
