Claiming Back Class 2 NI

chrisb1357

Hi all,

I started Self Emplyoed around June this year and was paying my own Class 2 NI. I then got issued with a Certificate of Exception after i had allready paid some towards my NI.

Can i claim any of this back that i had paid before i got this Exception due to small earnings.

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/incometax/claim-ni-conts.htm points to a page where HMRC covers this topic.

By the way, have you got a job where you pay Class 1 NI? I am asking because people who could claim exemption under the low earnings limit may choose to pay just to get something on their NI payments record.

No i do not have a job at the minute, Just come off Self Employment due to not making any money and gone back ont JSA. So do i just send a Letter to NI to say about claiming some back

Many thanks for the advice. I found the forms on the link you gave me and have posted them back to the tax office
