You mean the NI number is not printed in P60 ?. I'm assuming you have an NI number, If that is the case, then you have to contact Inland Revenue office (ASAP) and ask them to add your NI details to your tax records. Have you given your NI number to your employer? Usually, your employer should have already added that long before, if they had payed your taxes all these 5 years!On my insistence they have given me P60s for two years as well. However, it does not mention my NI number.
Everyone, who gets paid a salary, gets it after a good scoop of tax and NI from it. P60 is nothing but a year end statement of the consolidated tax and NI paid by your employer on behalf of you through 'PAYE'. Your employer has to keep a record of these taxes paid on behalf of you and the Inland Revenues computer system can indentify the same using two thingI have a net salary - means I get paid of net of taxes, my xompany pays taxes on my behalf, I dont get any P60 forms etc.
That is right but that does not stop people entering into a net pay arrangement if they want. For example if the employer and the employee agree to say £30000 pa net salary, after all deductions, that person will get a salary payment of exactly £2500 each month.Vin123 wrote: Everyone, who gets paid a salary, gets it after a good scoop of tax and NI from it.
The tax payments and NI contributions should have been credited to your NI account. In the case of the NI contributions, these would be to your long-term benefit (retirement, pension etc). But since you don't appear to have a NI number, you will not get this benefit.Conditions for applying for a National Insurance number
If you do not already have a National Insurance number you must apply for one as soon as you start work or you (or in some cases, your partner) claims benefit.
You must be 16 or over and resident in the UK.

-: which leads me to believe, I accept possibly wrongly, that the OP has a NINO but it is not quoted on the P60.However, it does not mention my NI number.
Yes and no. The taxes can be credited, but the NIC cannot be properly credited to a person's National Insurance Account unless the NINO is quoted.Joseph wrote:I don't believe that taxes and NI contributions (which are equally and separately required by law) can be properly credited to a person without a NINO.
Again the lack of NINO will probably not cause a problem getting the income tax credited to the correct account. After all the NINO is only one of the references used by HMRC to identify an employee.Joseph wrote:But in any case, without a NINO, it will be difficult if not impossible for the employee to demonstrate to the Home Office that PAYE has properly been done.

My point is that working 5 years without a NI number is already a violation of the law. The AN form asks for the NI number on page 1, and if one is not provided it should raise an alarm. Although it is not well publicized, the onus is on the taxpayer to get one when he starts work. Unlike British citizens, who normally get the NINO automatically when they turn 16, a new foreign taxpayer is clearly required to go to DWP for an identity interview. Of course, the employer is required to ask for a NINO (or search for one, or provide documents to facilitate the identity interview) when they bring on a new employee.
I don't believe that taxes and NI contributions (which are equally and separately required by law) can be properly credited to a person without a NINO. So if money is being withheld from the employee, it begs the question, where did it go? Even if the employer errs (or steals), the employee is still responsible for his Income Tax and National Insurance affairs.
But in any case, without a NINO, it will be difficult if not impossible for the employee to demonstrate to the Home Office that PAYE has properly been done. The NINO will probably be the first thing they put into the computer to verify the tax records.
