National Insurance Small Earnings Exception

Hello,

I'm now registered as Self Employed and have been sent a form for a Small Earnings Exception Certificate.

One problem though, the form states "you are eligible for National Insurance Contributions if you are age 16 or older". I am 15 but will be 16 before the end of the tax year (in November). Should I send this form off now or wait until I turn 16? :confused:

Thank you.

    Why not phone your local HMRC office and ask them? Or the number given with the form you've been sent. They're usually very friendly and helpful!

    Good luck - excellent initiative at 15, wish I could get my 14 yo to do a paper round even!
