Voluntary insurance - Can you get a contribution refund?

You can only get a contribution refund if you have paid too much

You will be refunded for any excess contributions paid during the period of voluntary insurance. We cannot establish whether you have paid too much until we have made a final contribution assessment.

First, we will make sure that we have all the details we need on your income. Based on the income details you provide, we will calculate the final contribution.

If the final contribution is lower than the provisional contribution you have already paid, you will get a refund. If the final contribution is higher than the provisional contribution, we will ask you to pay the difference. If you choose not to do so, we will establish until what date you were covered by voluntary insurance on the basis of the contributions already paid.
