I'm self employed and my profits are likely to be below the Lower Profits Limit for the current tax year, so I'm paying class 2 voluntary National Insurance Contributions, but I can't see a way to select this or record it on quickbooks online. Could somebody advise me on this please.

I can help you how to record NIC in QuickBooks Online, 

Skilly.

 

You'll have to create an expense and category column and select the liability account the NIC is posting to.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
  2. Click Accounting in the left panel and choose Chart of Accounts.
  3. Select New.
  4. Choose a Category/Account type (Expenses or Other Expenses).
  5. Fill in the needed details and hit Save & Close once done.

 

Additionally, do check our Employees and Payroll page for reference. From there, you can read some of our great articles that can guide you in managing your payroll effectively.

Thanks for your response Glinette C but I don't have the accounting option listed on the left hand side. 

I have Home, Transactions, Miles, Taxes, Reports, Invoices. 

I've gone into taxes but the only thing that lets me input anything is under the tax profile section. I have selected to say that I am not exempt from Class 2 NIC and yet it still won't show any class 2 NIC in the tax summary page. There is still a £0 next to it. To my mind it should automatically include class 2 NIC, if you're not exempt and then include class 4 NIC based on profits.
