National InsuranceNational Insurance contributions are payments which most people make towards the National Health Service and to enable them to get entitlement to some social security benefits. For employed earners, contributions are paid as a percentage of income above a certain level. Self-employed people pay a set weekly rate and, if their profits are high enough, a percentage of their income. Someone who is unemployed or unable to work through sickness may have their contributions credited. A person with no income from employment or self-employment does not have to pay national insurance contributions. The Inland Revenue National Insurance Contributions Office is part of the Inland Revenue. It is responsible for administering all national insurance records.
