The National Insurance component allows you to perform the tasks necessary to record, calculate, and pay National Insurance contributions. All the necessary information for calculating National Insurance contributions (NICs) is stored in the National Insurance (infotype 0069) records.

The National Insurance component holds all the relevant data on an employer's and employees' National Insurance contributions. This allows you to:

• Maintain strict records of the amount of National Insurance contributions paid by employees during the year
• Submit information to the Contributions Agency (CA) at year end. The amount of contributions paid together with the amount of the earnings on which the employee's NIC was calculated is entered onto the employee's contribution record by the CA.
