Annoymouse Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 When I worked in the UK (some 10 years ago now) I was given a UK N.I number, was actually straight forward, I think this was helped by the fact I didn't complete a full tax year here so when it came to income tax time I got a refund.

John Wright Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It’s certainly become more interesting since the pension systems got separated. My sister has gone to work in U.K. to be near her daughter and my about to be born niece or nephew. She is one of the age 66 retirees. She’s done enough contributing years here to qualify for the full new manx state pension. With bought years she’ll get 10+ years in to qualify for a decent U.K. pension also. Better than working here and contributing for no extra benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hostile regime on immigration has changed that, EoI and Entitlement to Work Interview (EU/EEA). It actually drives some genuine immigrants into black market working.

This is something I've been pondering a lot lately, if I started work at 15 and stop at 55 will I get any less of a pension than if I keep paying Ni until I'm 67? All assuming there's anything left in the pot by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can contact Treasury and they send a form you can fill out and then they send a forecast, showing how many qualifying years contributions you have, projected pension, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlo Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 It would be foolhardy to keep feeding them fairly large sums every month to spunk away on gravey trainers golden goodbye's for an extra 12 year's then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
