unpaid class 2 NIC

[baden]

I have recently realised that the NIC department have not been collecting my contributions for about two years! My accountant had not realised and we can't find a reason why the payment has not been collected.. Do they not realise when payments are not being collected? I still pay class 4 every year as per normal.. All very confusing.

This is a common problem - about time they just abolished this and raised the class 4 nic limit to 9% instead...or just abolished it...at least its only a couple of £ a week in the old days when it was £6 and you hadnt paid for 4 or 5 years then you got a big bill

I suggest you pay up asap - or you may be guilty of some sort of money laundering offence....

At least it's a "common" problem then.. I reckon they stop collecting on purpose so that when you need to claim your OAP they can smile smugly and turn away. My thoughts are .... If they fail to collect when a standing order/direct debit etc is made available to them surely it's there fault NOT yours.... as if!!
