Class 2 NIC
Class 2 National Insurance Contributions
Reform might be on its way but for 2015/16 the main change is that Class 2 NI Contributions will be collected via the self-assessment tax return, and so no longer will need to be paid independently.
But please note if you are already paying class 2 NIC by either monthly or quarterly direct debit, you should not cancel it until after the July 2015 instalment is paid as Class 2 NIC is paid four months in arrears.
