CF83 submitted after April 2025 deadline
I have been living and working abroad since 2010 but unfortunately was unaware of the April 2025 deadline to submit a CF83 and pay NI contributions back to 2010 but thought I might as well submit one anyway to pay the last 6 years which I did in June 2025.
Today I got a response from HMRC with a table that goes all the way back to 2010 and states amounts that I need to pay for each year within the next 31 days to make it a complete year. I called them and they confirmed I can do this. They did not ask about the date of the CF83. I'm a bit worried that the years might not count and I'll just end up losing the money if make the voluntary contributions. What to do?

You've only got 2 options really, pay it and if they later decide the invitation was an error get a refund or not pay it and not get the credits. The whole system is currently an administrative mess, in your shoes I would grab the opportunity while you can.
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.

Thank you. That was my thinking too

They’ve been doing this with a lot of people so I wouldn’t worry about it being an error. For some reason HMRC has decided to be generous. Grab it whilst you can especially if it’s Class 2.
