DANSP15700 | Decision types: National Insurance contributions liability decisions: Introduction

Section 8(1)(c) of the Social Security Contributions (Transfer of Functions, etc.) Act 1999

Article 7(1)(c) of the Social Security Contributions (Transfer of Functions, etc.) (Northern Ireland) Order 1999 (SR 1999 No 671)

DANSP15100 explains that the issues upon which a decision can be made, which carry a right of appeal, are listed in legislation. HMRC officers can make a decision on whether a person is or was liable to pay contributions of any particular class and, if so, the amount of that liability.

DANSP30600 explains how to word such decisions.
