Stumped over UK national insurance contributions + German tax return

Update on what proof you can get from HMRC that you paid voluntary NIC. 

 

I just got off the phone to them having requested proof of payment for 2019/20.  They said they will send a letter confirming dates, amounts and year concerned.  I was expecting all sorts of "what's that for", "we don't normally do that" type comments but it was quick and easy, as if they get asked every day.

Letter arrived today and looks as though it should be fine.  Shows personal details, amount paid, date paid, the year to which it relates and the number of weeks purchased.  It is relevant to German tax year 2022, so we'll see whether it does the job in about 12 months...
