Hi, 
So, I've just filled in my self assessment tax return and have yet to pay (or be asked to pay) National Insurance. However my record on the Gov.uk website states that I have a 'full year'. How can this be? I am usually asked to pay NI after filing my return but this hasn't happened this year. I haven't earned much but it was over £6725. I thought I still had to contribute to get a full year. Have things changed this year?

    From the 22-23 tax year if your profits are above the SPT then you are treated as paying class 2 NI but do not have to make a payment.  Below the SPT then you can pay voluntary class 2.
