To work, earn and pay taxes in the UK, you'll need to get a National Insurance Number (NIN).
An NIN is the unique number given to you by the UK Department for Work and Pension. You'll need your NIN to claim your UK tax refund.
Your NIN is used for deducting tax and National Insurance from your earnings and as a reference number for the benefits and tax credits system in the UK. You'll need to quote your NIN in any communication you have with HM Revenue and Customs and the Department for Work and Pension.

If you're new to the UK or heading there soon, taxback.com's partner company Quickstart UK can help you with the QuickStart UK NIN & Tax Pack. Quickstart UK give you step-by-step instructions to help make the application process faster and easier as well as information on paying tax in the UK.
