Details

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) intend to recover certain unpaid class 2 National Insurance contributions debts through a person’s PAYE tax code beginning in the 2014/15 tax year.

We are amending the “Social Security (Crediting and Treatment of Contributions, and National Insurance Numbers) Regulations” to specify that these contributions will be treated as paid on the 5 April in the tax year in which they are collected. From that date they will count towards social security contributory benefits in the same way as any other late paid contributions.

We have published these draft amended regulations for information before they are laid in Parliament.
