  • I'm 29 and I checked my NIC record a few months ago. I had less than 5 years that I have paid enough NI from when I was PAYE and a few years that also had options for voluntary pay. I worked in the US as a US citizen for 5 years so have missed paying a lot of NI in the UK during my twenties.

    I only ask as I have been prompted to answer yes or no as I am doing my self assesment. Can I say no and I have upto 6 years to pay NI contributions for a particular financial year? (as you do with PAYE).

    Yes, you can catch up later with class 2, so you don't have to do it right now. I did back in the 90s, and as it turns out it was money down the drain :)
