I've checked my national insurance record and see that in in 2020-2021 I didn't pay any National Insurance. I do a self-assessed tax return every year, and that year, I was working overseas and didn't earn enough in UK income to put me over my personal tax allowance.
The payment required for that year to make up the shortfall is almost £800. Yet, when I paid monthly class 3 contributions in other years it was much less than the £800 I'm being asked to make up for the missing year.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me?
I have 30 years of contributions currently although have another 10 years left to work (god help me!) before I'm pension eligible.
