Taxpayers now have until April 5, 2025, to fill gaps in their National Insurance contribution (NIC) record from April 2006. The Government has announced an extension of two years to the deadline to fill gaps in NICs which are used to assess the level of state pension payable. The original deadline for top-ups was extended to July 31, 2023, earlier this year.
Taxpayers are urged to contact the DWP to discuss their options before making any top-up payments. The extension should mean that the DWP has time to train further staff to handle telephone enquiries. Buying voluntary NI credits is an effective way of boosting the state pension but it is important first to check suitability for the individual.

Consequently, they are fast becoming pivotal components in the capital ecosystem, so much so that the Bank of England consider that the private credit market is currently responsible for approximately $1.8 trillion of debt issuance, which is four times its size in 2015. This growth has been particularly pronounced in Europe and the US but there has also been significant activity in Asia.

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation, commonly referred to as the AI Act, is expected to come into force during the summer of 2024 (the AI Act). The AI Act will be the first comprehensive legal framework for the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI), and is intended to ensure that AI systems developed and used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly.
