1. No, full stop.
2. Yes. You might be eligible to pay for the missing years if you want to. Ask to pay Class 2 contributions if they allow you to.
3. Not really an issue - you might have got a tax refund if you had, but otherwise the impact is minimal.

Why has the OP been deleted? Kind of rude.

Moving back to UK from Australia??
I am planning to move back to the UK from Australia later in the year. I first moved out here in november 2012 on a second working holiday visa then onto a 457 and then early last year i was granted permanent residency.
I have some questions about making the move back?
1) I have some money in savings here in Australia from which I have saved from my job, when i transfer this money back to the UK do i face any taxation on this money?
2) i havent been paying my national insurance contributions, when i get a job back in the uk will these automatically start again?
3) on the uk gov website it mentions when you leave the country HMRC should be notified of you leaving the country. I never did this as at the time i had no idea.
Any help would be great.

We did not face any taxation on any savings we had upon our arrival in the UK, when you automatically start work in the UK your NI insurance contributions should be automatically taken out of your salary. We did not inform HMRC we had left the country, we told everyone else but forgot (if indeed we did need to) the HMRC. Good luck on your return, I am being nosey now but why after all you have "done" to get permanent residency do you now want to leave......you don't have to answer that one lol.

Re: Moving back to UK from Australia??
I would add two expansions on Pulaski's answers.
2. You can order a copy of your National Insurance contribution record from HMRC and it will tell you which years are short and how much you need to pay in order to make them count towards your state pension. You can pay up to six years in arrears so you can catch up on what you missed.
3. You can complete Form P85 at any time after you leave so it might be worthwhile doing that now to ensure your tax records are up to date before you return.
I would also add that it would be wise to consider obtaining Australian citizenship before you depart if you are about to complete your first year as a Permanent Resident. This will keep the door to Australia open to you for life and any future children you may have in the UK will be eligible for Australian citizenship by descent.
