I thought I read something recently that if you have made 44 years worth of national insurance contributions then you didn't have to pay any more or it may have been along the lines that the with the new pension provisions, contributions beyond 44 years would count towards a higher state pension.A colleague at work in his early 60's already has 44 years so the additional 3 or 4 years will count for nothing. Did I imagine this or is there something in it.
Thanks

IIRC it's 39 years (for a male). If you have 39 years, are 60, =AND ARE NOT WORKING= you don't need to pay any more, you can get them credited. If you are still working, you still have to pay them (until you reach
65?). My cheat sheet is not to hand so I may not be entirely correct - however the government (inland revenue, now) website should tell you.BeanSmart website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here.
