    HMRC currently estimates that the direct effect of imposing NICs charged at 1% on those over State Pension age would raise around £100m in employee NIC receipts in 2018-19. This is comparable to the table above.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    The estimate is based on the latest Survey of Personal Incomes (2013-14), which has been projected in line with Budget 2016 economic assumptions from the Office of Budget Responsibility.<\/p>

    In 2012-13 it is estimated that 26.8m individuals are liable to National Insurance Contributions from earned income or self-employed profits across the different classes of National Insurance.<\/p>

    The destination of National Insurance contributions (NICs) is set out in Section 162 of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 and Section 142 of the Social Security (Northern Ireland) Administration Act 1992. NICs are paid into the National Insurance Funds (NIF) after deducting the appropriate NHS allocation. Contributory benefits are paid out of the Funds and the amounts are published in the National Insurance Fund Accounts[1].<\/p>
