National insurance refund

in Cutting tax
Hi,the last tax year I worked part time and earned just around 10k for the whole year. Some months I earned as little as 300 pounds and some others I earned 1300 pounds. At the end of the year I only reached 10k. The 3 months I earned around 1300 I got a deduction for National insurance. At the end I got my p60 saying my total earnings plus the national insurance deductions. I read that you don't pay national insurance if you did not earn £12,570 per year. I looked online and read that I could ask a refund to my employer. He refused saying the deduction was right. Is he?

Is he?If you worked only one month in the tax year and earned £1200 you would pay £12.16 NI and receive no refund. Thems the rules!0

The rates can vary from year to year but they are based on a percentage of your income above certain levels (currently £12,570 per year, the same as the income tax personal allowance).It's technically correct but it really needs a bit more explanation of how & when it's actually deducted. Not the finest piece of work from a charity called Tax Aid which exists to give tax advice to lower-paid workers.
