Two jobs = too much NIC?


If you have more than one employment, or an employment and a self-employment, you could end up paying too much in National Insurance Contributions. There is a maximum that any individual is supposed to pay in NIC in any year, and if two employers both deduct NIC, you may exceed the limit. It is a simple matter to apply for the limit to be operated, but it is supposed to be done before the start of a tax year in which you are likely to pay too much. It is always easier not to pay NIC than to get it back after paying too much!
