Tax and National Insurance
If you have decided to work via PAYE (Pay As You Earn i.e. not through a Limited Company), tax and National Insurance will be deducted at source by Michael Page International.
If you have worked in the UK before, please ensure that you enclose your P45 with your first timesheet.
If you are working in the UK for the first time, and have not already done so, you will need to complete a P46 and apply for a National Insurance (NI) number. A P46 form can be obtained from your consultant.
To apply for a National Insurance number, contact the Department of Work and Pensions when you arrive in the UK on tel: 020 7712 2171. They will inform you of their nearest office. We strongly recommend that you obtain your NI number, as this registers your eligibility for state benefits, including free hospital and medical services.
To find out more information on your tax and National Insurance, please refer to www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk.
