We need our national insurance number for all kinds of reason. It is our unique personal identifier and we often get asked for it for everything from finding pension pots to hiring a car.
It appears on your payslip and other tax documents like P60s and P45s, but all too often , the moment we want our NI number is when we don’t have this information to hand.
So why not make sure you’ve always got access to your information as the Government holds it? Download the HMRC app today.
You can use this downtime while at home to get on terms with HMRC by downloading their app onto your phone. And once you’ve done it and logged on for the first time, you’ll find yourself in control.
