We have been advised to use the figure published on HMRC website for our tax returns. I've noticed for some clients the information is not there. I contacted HMRC and after some too-ing and fro-ing eventually discovered that my client's national insurance record showed that he was no longer self employed because his direct debit mandate for payment of his class 2 contributions had been cancelled. Has anyone else come across this?

Sometimes the information is not there because they are still paying it monthly, so something else to check.

You could only pay monthly by direct debit.
I'd be surprised if anyone was still paying monthly.

I have a client who is still paying monthly. The Revenue stopped the payment and recommenced it without any prompting, so it is still happening.

I'm surprised.
Given that HMRC would have to take positive action to collect on a direct debit, it's hard to see how this could arise in isolated cases.
Still, I'm glad I advised my clients to cancel the mandate.
