NIM00003 - Overview of the National Insurance Manual (NIM): The purpose of NICs liability work: Obtaining further help

The purpose of NICs liability work is to establish the correct liability of employees, employers and the self-employed for National Insurance contribution purposes. Within this context it is important to ensure that potential benefit implications are considered as well as ensuring that the National Insurance Fund (NIF) is protected.

Each local compliance team has a designated technical officer who is the first port of call for any help needed with NICs liability work.

Where the local technical officer requires further assistance they can contact the PAYE SA NICS (PSN) Technical team at Longbenton, Newcastle. All written submissions must be in the format set out in the Administration Manual (ADM 6.109; see Memo SCS122/02).
