Administrative / biographical background

The Inland Revenue Corporate Issues Team sat under the Inland Revenue Division of the Department of Social Security.

The Contributions Agency was responsible for the collection and recording of National Insurance contributions, the maintenance of individual National Insurance records, and the provision of an advisory service to government, business and the general public. By 2001, responsibility for overseeing the agency's work passed from the Department of Social Security to the Board of Inland Revenue, and it was renamed the National Insurance Contributions Office.
