Class 2 Voluntary NIC 22/23 Explained
11th May 2023
From 6th April 2022 (relevant to 2022/23 tax year) Class 2 voluntary NIC does not have to be paid if taxable profits exceed the Class 2 NIC Small Profits Threshold of £6,725, but do not exceed the Class 4 NIC Lower profits Limit of £11,908.
If your total taxable profit sits in between these 2 thresholds, HMRC will treat your Class 2 NIC as being paid. No physical payment is needed by individuals, and National Insurance credits will continue to be accumulated.
If your taxable profits sit below £6,725 then Voluntary Class 2 NIC will still need to be paid to HMRC to ensure National Insurance contributions are credited.
