National Insurance!

Hi,

I work on the internet with a company abroad and receive a monthly salary transferred into my bank account in the UK.
I have a UTR number and paying the income tax and I do receive working and child tax credits.
my question is: do I have to pay national insurance? someone told me that since my income is not from the UK I don't have to but I'm not sure..
If I have to pay NI , how and where?

Thanks in advance
Fawaz

  • Are you classed as self employed?
  • No. I'm not classed as self employed.
    actually in the tax credit form I only selected the employed option with the information of the company I'm working with.

    Thing is with NI...if you ever need to claim any related benefits you will not be abe to as you have'nt paid enough NI contributions. It also helps towards your pension for the future.
  • Contact the National Insurance office and ask them. It's better to get this info from an official source.
