Problem
Prepared my first 2019-20 Tax return and noticed that the amount of Class 2 NIC appears to be incorrect at £159 for the year. HMRC also has this figure but according to the published rates for that year it should be £156 (£3 per week).
Resolution
Class 2 NIC is normally £3 * 52 weeks = £156.00 Annually.
However it was a leap year 2019/2020 – so therefore it is £3 * 53 weeks = £159.00.
So therefore, it is showing correctly.
