New form for new class 3

[partnership]

Have already bought back contributions at class 2. Am about to fill in the form to pay class 3 going forward. I am unsure of dates. Unfortunately I didn't keep a copy of the original form I filled out. Will it matter if there are differences? Also it asks when your employment ended. I retired in mid 2025 but have paid class 2 for 2025/2026.

I am not sure your employment details matter at this stage. Besides, HMRC will know your employment cessation date from their own records.

I was working in Ireland. Form asks about overseas employment. Technically last year should have been a mix of class 2 and 3 maybe

EDITED: On the form, apart from questions asking you for your name, address , DOB and NI number the only other two questions ask you
if you will be living or working abroad in 2026-2027 and if you employer will be paying NI contributions on your behalf. That's it, I am pretty certain.

People are confusing form CF83 and the new form needed to continue with Class 3 - which is here, and needs to be printed off and posted in.

Thanks for the correction, I've just edited my post to fix that.

Have edited title to reflect that it is not cf83. My questions are the same. Also I presume we print off and send.

Yeah it's very straightforward. Nothing in there date-wise that might necessitate reference to stuff previously submitted
