Class 2 National Insurance Letters – Still Ongoing
Back in June, we published a blog explaining the confusing Class 2 National Insurance letters being issued by HMRC for 2024/25 returns. If you missed it, you can read it here:

Since then, the issue has unfortunately continued and we now know it may carry on into autumn 2025.
Quick Recap: What’s the Problem?
From April 2024, most self employed people no longer pay Class 2 NIC if their profits are above £6,725 — they receive a credit instead. Those below the threshold can still choose to pay Class 2 voluntarily.
However, HMRC’s systems weren’t updated in time and have been sending incorrect letters:
- Charging Class 2 NIC when it isn’t due
- Charging two years’ worth in some cases
- Or issuing pointless “correction” letters
What’s Changed?
HMRC has now officially confirmed:
- They’re aware of the issue
- They expect the fix to be in place by September 2025
- They’ll issue revised SA302s where needed
- Corrections will be made before the 31 January 2026 deadline
