Class 3 NI contributions - how long to appear on system?

george278

How long before voluntary class 3 national insurance contributions appear on the HMRC system?

I paid, by bank transfer, on 6th March a full years’ worth, for the tax year 2020/21 and the system still says “you did not make any contributions this year”

Thanks in advance

You're probably a month or so too early.

No less than 6 to 8 weeks.
