I have 4 years already and I can buy another 9 years ( starting in 2006 until 2022). I have class A stamps...the letter is a bit confusing, it quotes me an amount I need to pay for each year to qualify. I'm not sure if they are quoting me for Class A or another Class.
To get the 6 years I need to qualify (current rules are you need 10 years to become eligible) it will cost me 700 euro (on average) per year so about 4200.
I can also buy years up until 2023 so that's another 8 years I can get, let's say I can buy these for 6400. I understand that 2023 is the cut off for buying additional years. I will then have 17 years approx or half a UK state pension for an investment of 10600 euro.
I guess this does sound like a good idea....
It takes up to.4 months to get reply back from Newcastle these days but all the forms are available.to print off from HMRC website
I have been trying to work out my options in a similar situation - as you say it is very confusing. Especially as you are dealing with two different systems (Ireland and UK).As I stated fill out the form CF83, post it with required theinfo and you will.see, they will do the rest. I have been through the process and while.it all looks very confusing, especially since the far reaching changes introduced in 2016, once you send off the fully completed form, its not that.difficult a process.
I asked irish rev for my.irish employment record it listed all the places.I worked and i send it.to.hmrc. perhaps if you.have.kept records yourself, p60 etc then you wont.have to ask irish rev for the details.
OK - thanks, I'll work through it.
Thanks everyone for advice - it seems I've missed the boat on paying Class 2 though
Good luck with it, you can pay back up to 12 years so its to you benefit to try and get to pay class 2 national insurance contributions. Its few years.since i went through the process but i am currently paying tiny amount.every.month something.like £12 going towards a future uk pension.
