How are Class 3 contributions shown on your record?

Hi

I'm sure someone can tell me - if I bought Class 3 NI contributions how would they be shown on my HMRC record? I can see the Class 2 I bought are shown as Self Employment but I need to know how any Class 3 contributions would be shown.

Many thanks for your replies.

    Either as 'Paid Employment', 'voluntary' or (possibly) 'Credits'  as appropriate, I think 

    If you are buying them voluntarily it will be the middle one

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
