National Insurance
National Insurance has seen many changes and developments since its introduction in 1911.
Paid by working people from the age of 16 to they become eligible for a State Pension, a unique National Insurance number is allocated to every child when Child Benefit is first claimed. This number can be used as an identifier in the same way as a taxpayers UTR when speaking to HMRC.
Amounts paid over time influence our eligibility to claim certain benefits, including the state pension, although people in some circumstances may receive National Insurance credits which protect their access rights to those benefits.
National Insurance income is a key part of the UK Treasury’s annual income, of around 18%.
