Set up a new NID prefix or change the status of an existing prefix.

Starting in the tax year 2004/2005, the Inland Revenue requires that employers' year-end reporting contains valid national insurance prefixes only. Submissions with invalid national insurance prefixes will be rejected.

Use the delivered setup table to define valid national insurance prefixes. When you enter a person's national insurance code on the Biographical Details page, the system validates the prefix against this national insurance prefix table.

The format of national insurance numbers is defined on the National ID Type Table page, which is described in this documentation.

Use the NID Prefix GBR page (NID_PREFIX_GBR) to view the existing NID prefixes.
