  • You don't pay Scottish income tax (this applies to people in Scotland).
  • Your National Insurance (NI) category is A, H & M (this is a standard category for most employees).
  • You only pay Class 1 National Insurance (this is paid by most employees).
  • Your tax code is likely 1257L, which is typical for someone with one job or pension.
