Welcome to QuickBooks Community, papillonvintage.

 

The most possible reason for this is that you've reached the threshold to pay the National Insurance. There are two pay types of National Insurance:

  • Class 2 if your profits are £6,365 or more a year
  • Class 4 if your profits are £8,632 or more a year

Let's go to your Taxes tab to verify. Also, you'll want to read this guide about Self-employed National Insurance rates. Additionally, you can check this page to learn more: Rates and allowances: National Insurance contributions.
