  • Are you retiring soon? - Check your entitlement to the State Pen

Further extension to voluntary NI contributions deadline

The UK Government is giving people more time to pay National Insurance contributions towards their State Pension.

Taxpayers now have until 5th April 2025 to fill gaps in their National Insurance record from April 2006 that may increase their State Pension – an extension of nearly 2 years.

Extending the voluntary National Insurance contributions deadline until 2025 means that people have more time to consider whether paying voluntary contributions is right for them and ensures no-one need miss out on the possibility of boosting their State Pension entitlements.

The original deadline was extended to 31st July 2023 earlier this year and tens of thousands of people have taken the opportunity to pay voluntary contributions to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) since then. The revised deadline is expected to enable tens of thousands more to do the same.
