Employees' Contributions: Overseas Residence

Monday 21st December 2020

Asked by: Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many British citizens who are resident overseas paid either (1) Class 2, or (2) Class 3, voluntary National Insurance contributions between 2010 and 2020.

Answered by Lord Agnew of Oulton

The information requested is not readily available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. HMRC do not require individuals to declare their citizenship or nationality. Therefore while they are able to identify overseas residents who pay National Insurance contributions, they are unable to determine the proportion of these that are British citizens.
