Where a person applies to become an optional contributor (under the scheme of social insurance for share fishermen) in the contribution year in which they first became insured as a self-employed contributor, the optional contribution payable is £250. These Regulations reduce the optional contribution payable in this situation to the minimum social insurance contribution payable by a self-employed contributor, i.e. £230 from 6 April, 1995.
