What is an emergency National Insurance Number?

An emergency National Insurance Number is a tax code that will be used in place of your own National Insurance Number until one is issued to you officially by HMRC. All this means is that you will temporarily be taxed at a higher rate until you receive your own N I number.

After you receive your National Insurance Number you will be taxed correctly and refunded the appropriate amount of taxes from your emergency code.
