self-employed and employer NIC

Hi Jilly,

For the following the question asked for NIC of Reberto who is trading .So here upon knowing that he is trading so which NIC we will choose The self-employed ones( class 2 & class 4) or the
the ones for employer (class 1)
based on which point we can choose

For my knowledge I come to know that as he is a trader so he is self employed

but if he was paying for the employee contribution then we should choose the Class1 -employer NIC

is that okay.

Thanks
