We spoke to HMRC on the phone, the person was pretty unhelpful and said that he wouldn't register my husband for class 2 NI unless we gave him the exact day in 2000 that he registered as self-employed, but they have now just sent him a bill for payments of £159 for 7 years, from 08-09, through to 14-15. If they can only go back 6 years should that start from this previous tax year, i.e. 18-19, and 5 previous years? Another question is that they say the NI is calculated at a higher rate because it wasn't paid in time, however as they should have known that he was self-employed and therefore due to pay Class 2 since he registered as self-employed in 2000, can they make him pay at the higher rate when he couldnt' have paid on time because he didn't know that it was due?<br/>
Many thanks.
