Which bank are you with? This should be straight forward as an international payment, but I don't know if all banks make it available online.but I don't know how to manage an exact amount in sterling from a euro bank accoun
It'd work out the cheapest option for you.Should I set up a Revolut account with a UK wallet for this maybe?
Yes they confirmed over the phone that they don't send confirmations or statements except on request. I'm not in a hurry and so far have just sent them letters which they generally respond to within 2 months so I'll do that when I make the payments.Send a letter after you make the payment, with the payment bank reference and ask for confirmation of receipt.
Thanks. I'll probably do Revolut. Am not obsessed with getting the best FX rate but more about getting it right.It'd work out the cheapest option for you.
I have outlined my circumstances to HMRC and they have said Class 3.You are most likely eligible to make class 2 contributions which are at a lower rate.
It turns out it is if you go lookingThis should be straight forward as an international payment,
Good stuff. It tends to get buried away from the more common self service items. It's not something many customers actually do.It turns out it is if you go looking
Thanks. I filled out form NI38 and they told me I was only eligible to pay Class 3You could fill in the NI38 application form and say that you want to pay class 2, and see if they let you rather than doing class 3, which for most UK expats doesn't really do anything extra for them.
Yes I worked it out as a real return of 5.9% for someone my age assuming the UK pension keeps up with inflation.So, your contributions will have paid for themselves so long as you manage to pick up the pension for just over 3 years. (If that's not a great investment I don't know what is!)
