The UK's HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has informed individuals looking to boost their state pension by purchasing National Insurance (NI) contributions that they need an 18-digit reference number for online transactions. To qualify for the full new state pension, 35 years of NI contributions are required. Individuals can buy contributions for the last 16 tax years, extended to include the 2006/2007 tax year until April 2025.
