Rental income and capital gains. NI payments

[cascas]

This year I will not have any employed (paye) income. All income is from rental income, and a capital gain.

Is any NI payment required, if so which class is applicable?

No liability for NI contributions arises, since it is not due on property income or capital gains. You might wish to pay voluntary Class 3 NI contributions in order to protect certain entitlements.

"If your work or personal situation means that you don't currently have to pay National Insurance contributions, or you are not entitled to receive National Insurance credits, you may still be able to pay voluntary contributions to fill in any gaps in your National Insurance record."

Yes, no Class 2 nor Class 4 NI, but can pay Class 3 if you wish.
