What is a National Insurance Number (NIN)?
Your National Insurance Number (NIN) is the unique number allocated to you by the Department for Work and Pension in the UK. It allows you to work, pay taxes, access public services and claim a tax refund. If you’re new to the UK, you’ll need to get an NIN. You’ll use your NIN in all your correspondence with HM Revenue and Customs and the Department for Work and Pension. Your NIN will be used as a reference number for the benefits and tax credits system in the UK and is used for making tax and National Insurance deductions from your earnings. Taxback.com’s partner company Quickstart UK can provide you with NIN assistance in London as part of the Quickstart UK NIN & Tax Pack. Register online today.
