National Insurance Contributions Act 2008
Summary
This Act made changes to the National Insurance system in the UK. National Insurance is money that employees, employers, and self-employed people pay to fund state pensions, unemployment benefits, and the NHS. The Act adjusted how much people and businesses pay, and updated the rules for who has to pay and how it's collected.
