Hi,

Will i be able to get anything from the national insurance contribution i am making if i go back to my home country, say after 5 years?

Thanks in advance,

I doubt that .. Not sure about tax though!

Tax? No way. NI, not too sure.

Don't think so.

In some cases it is possible to 'use' your contributions in another country which the UK has a reciprocal agreement with to claim certain benefits. Obviously not as good as getting money back but may be of some use.

Though this doesn't help you if you are from India as India is not one of the countries the UK has an agreement with.

Thanks...
Hmm.. Its a huge amount. Probably a part of it may be used for NHS. What else it is used for, if i do not go back to home country?

Is the amount to be paid same for contract and permanent jobs?

Contibution based Job Seekers Allowance, state pension, maternity pay and so on.........

In reality I think it all goes in one big pot called Her Majesty's Treasury.

Nope.

An argument used often by people against the NHS is that if they don't use the NHS then they lose the money paid into it. Anything paid into it is effectively lost if you emigrate.

Don't think that is correct.

Is it mentioned anywhere, what percent of the amount is transferrable. And what is the procedure..Not able to find any such information..

Anyone knows, please forward.

Does this speak about NI? NO. This looks more for a local resident or EU resident and not for HSMPian or Tier1 migrants.
