Estonia nationals are entitled to work in the UK, be it as employees or self-employed. What reasons were given for refusal to issue you National Insurance number (NINO) (assuming you still have the Jobcentre Plus letters)? For what offence would the £2000 penalty be?

Try telephoning the Contributions Agency International Work department - the number a few months ago was 0845 9154811, but it may have changed - look on the HMRC website for national insurance international
