Good day.

I am a South African. Being married to a Brit and living and working here now permanently. Can I get a NI rebate, what is the procedure and how much does it cost?

Hi First Contact,

Like Jon & Amanda’s questions above I have also left the country and had set up a pension fund for my NI Rebate through you 2 years ago. What happens now ?? can I access the money or get it transfered to an Australian account or is it only available once I have retired ??

Regards Phil

Hi,

I lived and worked in the UK for 4 years from 2004-2007 and moved back to Australia in 2008. Am I able to claim back those NI Contributions and put them into my superannuation over here? If someone could let me know if it is possible or if I can’t that would be brilliant.

Thanks you so much

I live in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and we don’t have National Insurance over here but we do have Social Security. Would the same kind of rebate apply for Social Security in Guernsey?

I submitted an NI Rebate claim via you guys and have since left the UK. What happens now? Can I transfer that to a bank account here? Or an Australian super fund? Thanks

I was made redundant from my most recent job last April and currently not employed. Will I be able to claim for the last tax year even though I am not working now?

Thanks

As a foreigner who will be leaving in a few months, is there anyway to access these funds? I understand that it’ll be put into a pension fund but is there anyway to access these funds before the retirement age?

Hi Tracy,
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately you cannot claim back past the tax year that you are currently in. So if you make a claim now it would only be backdated to the beginning of this tax year i.e. 06/04/2009. Hope that explains it.
