National Insurance.

Can you stop paying NI upon reaching the 30 years contributions necessary to obtain a full state pension? I have just become employed again after being redundant and have attained the 30 years,will Istill pay NI?

[GillyGee]

unfortunately yes!!

[dasherman]

If you are employed you must pay NI if you're under state pension age.
Your NI record can also affect other state benefits such as JSA and also goes towards paying for the health service, etc.

I think GillyGee meant "unfortunately, no".

Depends which question - the one in the first sentence or the one in the last.......
