Answers Income tax, National Insurance, Corporation tax, Excise Duty, VAT, Council tax Income tax Over £592 billion £683 billion £22,000 is spent on each person from taxes paid

Activity Whole-class discussion Now you know a bit more about tax what do they think about paying it? Are the benefits worth the money paid?

National Insurance What is National Insurance?

National Insurance Anyone 16 years or older either working for someone or self- employed pays National Insurance. When you reach the age where you get state pension you stop paying for National Insurance. Everyone will get a National Insurance card. Each card has a number, this number will be requested by:-:- banks if you are opening a new account, new employers when you get a job, going on holiday, getting a mortgage etc. The National Insurance is a unique number that only applies to you! National Insurance helps pay for the following items:- NHS – A small amount of the money goes towards this. Pensions Benefits

Activity You will need to use the computers for this task. Go to the National Insurance section on the Tax Matters website Each pupil will need to answer the following questions:- Write down a list of who pays National Insurance Contributions (NICs). Include both individuals and organisations on your list. How much do individuals have to pay in NICs? What benefits are available to those who have paid NICs? Why do you think the benefits bill has increased so much over the last 50 years?

Answers All individual people aged over 16 years and working in a job. If you earn under £149 per week then you pay nothing. If you earn between £149 - £797 per week then you pay 12% of your wage. If you earn over £797 then you pay a higher rate. NHS services, benefits, pensions, education. More people are unemployed, the birth rate has gone up, people are living longer and therefore claiming their pensions for longer, more hospitals and treatments available that have to be paid for.

Plenary Quick recap of the lesson, have a class discussion around the following questions:- What do you now think about paying taxes? In what other ways can we contribute to working together for a better society? What do you think about people who try to avoid paying taxes? What is the point of paying National Insurance contributions? What unexpected events could happen to make the payments worthwhile? Why is it important to keep NI numbers safe and secure?
