The new online service will make it easier for people to fill in gaps in their national insurance record
The government has launched a new online tool which will make it easier for people to fill in any gaps in their national insurance record and subsequently top-up their state pension pot.
Anyone who has NI gaps in some of their tax years can use the service to choose which years they would like to fill. They can then pay securely through the service and will receive confirmation that their payment has been received and that their NI record will be updated.Those who are eligible have until April 5 2025 to pay voluntary contributions to make up gaps in their NI record between April 6 2006 and April 5 2018.
Nigel Huddleston, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said: “Having peace of mind when planning for retirement is crucial to ensure people can enjoy later life. That’s why HMRC has launched this new online service today, making a real difference for thousands of pensioners in their retirement while providing certainty to those in their middle years and those still planning ahead.”
