When is the Pension Forecast website updated for 18/19 Tax Year?

shalom2010

Hello

I hope this has not been asked before. (I did a search here, but I could not find the information).

I am paying Class 3 Voluntary Contributions for the next three years to bring my State Pension up to the maximum I can get, as I am missing some years. During the last year (April 18 to now) I have been paying contributions every month to HMRC.

Does anyone know when I can expect to see the 18/19 tax year shown as 'Paid in Full' ? (Is it done in April or does it require me to ring HMRC, to up date my Pension record, which I do not want to do!)

Many Thanks

Steven, Chigwell, Essex

Hold your horses Shalom2010.


It makes no real difference exactly what week the system is updated as in the end you will get what you have paid for.




There are also other processes to happen and HMRC advises it can be up 3 months to get the system up to date as from 6 April 2019, therefore that suggests some time in July is the earliest you can expect that to happen according to HMRC who have to transfer the date to the National Insurance database and it is usually well into June at the earliest it will happen.


Just accept it will happen and stop waiting for it to happen as it will not make it happen quicker.

Okay, thanks for your help. I just wanted to ensure that the money I have being paying for the last year ends up as a paid up contributions towards my pension.
