I am currently working in The Netherlands, am in the Dutch tax, pay Dutch social taxes, and yet my NI contributions are not credited, and thus I am forced to pay multiple times for something I can never benefit from:
1. I can never draw a Dutch pension yet I am forced to contribute to it
2. Even if I am living out of a suitcase, and going home every other weekend I still have to pay full Dutch health insurance! This is a complete Joke when you consider that as a contractor, if I was taken ill or unable to work, my contract would be terminated and I would end-up back in the UK anyway.
Why can't I use my EHIC card just to access emergency medical treatment and pay voluntary NI contributions (AVC), thus protecting my pension rights, and contributing to the UK medical system?
