NOT ALL UMBRELLA COMPANIES ARE CREATED EQUAL.



An umbrella company is a business that hires agency contractors to work on
short-term contracts, usually through a recruitment agency in the United
Kingdom. Because the agency’s liability is lessened, recruitment firms prefer to
assign contracts to a limited company. It sends invoices to the recruitment
agency (or client) and pays the contractor through PAYE whenever the invoice is
paid, with the extra benefit of balancing some of the revenue by claiming
expenses such as travel, meals, and lodging.

If you utilise a conventional PAYE Umbrella Company, you will be treated as an
employee with all of the company’s employee rights. The umbrella firm would bill
the negotiated rate (not your pay), deduct an administration fee, Employers
National Insurance, and the apprenticeship levy, and then send you an invoice.
After deducting the relevant tax and employee national insurance, as well as any
pension payments, the umbrella company would pay you via PAYE on the remaining
amount.

If the Umbrella company offers expenses (*Subject to SDC) they will do so in one
of two ways: by assisting you in filling out a P87 (Claim Income Tax Relief for
Your Employment Expenses) at the end of the year, or by agreeing on an amount of
claimable expenses with your umbrella company at the start of your contract.

Other contract management tools are available from some umbrella firms. They
claim to be entirely compliant with HMRC and to avoid the problems of IR35,
however we advise staying away from EBTs, offshore companies, and loan schemes.

Working overseas might be a challenging decision; yet, several umbrella
companies have an International arm. The answers will be diverse and will differ
from one country to the next.

   use. I also keep coming back to this website because you have all the answers
