Child benefit NI credits

1 reply

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.

Google what else type 2 qualifies you for and see if it is worth it for you, there are other contribution based benefits like New Style JSA that some types of NI classes help you qualify for and others don't.
