I have seen a few posts on here about both of the above, but because it never really concerned me at the time, I didn't bother reading them.
I think I have a few searches of the different threads to do!!

Do you think you'll be earning less than:
£4,825 in 2008-9 tax year
and/or
£5,075 in 2009-10 tax year?
(that's profit, not turnover!)
If so, apply for a National Insurance Class 2 small earnings exemption certificate
info and application form: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/forms/cf10.pdf
It's not as simple a choice as it looks (i.e it's not just a case of "I can save £2.20 a week") as if you DO pay, you may get certain benefits, such as sick pay, maternity pay, etc.
FYI, I have a "proper job" as well as my MS work, I pay NI in my proper job, therefore have opted out of paying Class 2 NI for my MS work.0 -

I received a similar bill last year, but rang the tax office and they confirmed that I wouldn't have to pay the NI bill (think it was about £21 ish) as I wouldn't be earning anywhere near the £4,825 just doing MS'ing so I then applied for the small earnings certificate, as monkey correctly advises!! :T The bill was then cancelled by HMRC :T Hope all that makes sense, hth;)0 -

Thanks, that is such a help.
I have 3 children.... definitely don't plan on having a fourth, so maternity pay not an issue. I also work part time and pay NI on that income, so looks like will go down same route as you.
Once again, thank you!! (saved me lots of time searching)0 -
Early indications are that I made a c£20 loss on my MSing for the last tax year (I only started in March).0
