Should I buy these 4 pre 2016 vol NIC years?

🤔 Hmmmm…that’s not a bad idea at all! I mean I have no kids/grandkids but I definitely like saving for things. It takes the April 2025 deadline pressure off…gives me time to get my driving license/photo ID sorted and set up digitally for a new pension forecast etc (drag my bottom into the 21st century)…that makes it easier to buy the years when I do! I could start with the two cheaper pandemic-time ones maybe, if they are still up for grabs. 👍😉

Years stay available for 6 years after the end of the year but from 2 years after the end of the year they increase each year to the current year price.

Aaaah…that explains all the different rates and dates on the payment schedule!

Thanks for all your help on this, I might sleep a bit better tonight! 🙂👏

Out of interest re Class 2 payments, can i only go back 6 years?
Can those that were self-employed, e.g 2006-2016, fill any gaps needed back to 2006? and pay at the class 2 rate? I have had read other posts and used that information to say i can, but after 3 attempts to put my case HMRC say NO. The last adviser did say a i could write a letter to them but that could take months to get any reply, leaving me in limbo or having to pay at class 3 rate now. 

I see you have started your own thread…thank you and cheerio!

Hi sorry about that, for some reason i couldn't start a new thread....then i could once i posted that ??
