#nationalinsurance — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Lots in the UK media recently about the NI tax rises being the cause of many industries woes... Without mentioning other cost increases, changes in lifestyle (people are drinking less!) or that profitability is amazingly less affected...

The hospitality report referred to here doesn't mention that the rate of pub closures is actually declining, the industry as a whole is seeing 10% growth, and areas like catering are growing

Oh wow, so foreign workers are paying into our social programs and getting nothing but threats of deportation and institutionalised racism for their time here?

Holy shit... I didn't even know this was a thing and the govt (tory scum) covered it up, still won't say what the problem is, how many are affected... there's people who are missing a couple of years.

Turns out... I'm missing 8yrs myself.

From 2010 to 2017, I'd given up work to help care for my late father.

I was on benefits during that time partly as a carer and partly due to my own health issues.

For that entire time... I've been entitled to a weekly credit towards my national insurance contributions that you pay to be entitled to your state pension when you retire.

I was prompted to look into my NI record after I was told about a deadline this April for topping up any shortfalls from the years 2006-2016 in your record.

Up to 2009, I have all full years aside from 90-91 and 93-94 when I was still starting out in life and looking for a career that interested me. Not really an issue as more than 30yrs. It's 2yrs out of the approx 35yrs required. Not a problem when you have a working life of around 50yrs.

But I wanted to retire early, I don't want to work until I'm 67... and because of this, I'd have too.

So now I need to get working and investigating how I can get this record corrected.

That missing 8yrs, is enough to get me over the finish line so that I could retire in my 50's, some 10yrs early.

Just a quick reminder/observation that; in the #UK there is no #NationalInsurance Employers contribution for #apprentices aged 25 or under who earn less that £50k

So, if you use #apprenticeships as part of your #skills portfolio, either by recruiting fresh #talent or #upskilling some of your existing staff, you could be saving 15% (from April '25) on your payroll costs, for the duration of their programme.

I've got a varied and growing suite of courses on offer:

The UK government’s recent National Insurance hike placed a burden on all employers. The NHS are exempt but not the wider care sector. Here’s the petition to trigger a debate in parliament.
A signature and/ or boost would be much appreciated. Thank you 🙏
