NI contributions when employed AND self employed

I've been Money Tipped!
My husband has two jobs, one where he is an employee, and the other where he is self employed.

Prior to starting the employed job, he was self employed and paid the regular NI contributions when billed and assumed that when he started employment, that his contributions would be paid via PAYE.

However, this week, he's had a NI bill. He called them to say that he only earns a minimal amount through the self employment and he thought that his NI conts would be paid through the PAYE scheme in his wages. He has been told that he needs to submit accounts for the past 5 years to prove his earnings and only then would he qualify for an exemption.

Is this correct? Was reading something on the HMRC website which said the information would be taken from his self assessment tax return? Just seems a bit silly having to submit all the accounts!

Thanks
