Hello. I have the child benefit in my name, and therefore get the NI credits in my name. I earned a small amount of money last year from home, enough to fill in a self assessment form, but not enough to pay tax or be over the NI threshold.
On the form it asks me if I would like to pay class 2 National insurance contribution voluntarily. It’s about £125. Is there any benefit in doing this, if I already have the credits as the person who receives child benefit?
Thank you for your help.
