What happens at State Pension age?
Once you’re over State Pension age you don’t have to pay Class 1 NICs if you carry on working. You’ll only have to pay them on any earnings that were due to be paid to you before you reached State Pension age.
Applying for an Age Exception Certificate if you continue working
If you stay in employment or self-employment after State Pension age you can apply to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for an Age Exception Certificate so that you don’t pay NICs. You can write to:
HM Revenue & Customs
National Insurance Contributions Office
Evening Work Centre
Benton Park View
Newcastle upon Tyne
NE98 1ZZ
Make sure you provide your name, address, contact number and your National Insurance number. Once you receive your certificate from HMRC give it to your employer. This will allow them to stop deducting NICs from your earnings.
