Paying the National Insurance contributions in the UK
The National Insurance in the UK comes with numerous benefits for all citizens, locals or from abroad. Such payments will contribute to the state pensions in the country. If you are an immigrant from EU (European Union) or non-EU country and develop activities as a self-employed, you need to register with the authorities, in order to receive the insurance number. The same goes for individuals who are employees in the UK but with the difference that the company is in charge of paying such taxes if stipulated in the work contract. The employment status in the UK will influence the type of category you enter in, according to the incomes you receive.
We remind you that if you pay the national insurance in another EEA (European Economic Area), but you live in the UK, you will be exempt from paying the National Insurance. Additional information and details about the social security contributions can be obtained from our UK immigration lawyer. The same team can help you obtain a residence permit in UK or British citizenship.
