The simplest way to describe an umbrella company is that you become an employee of the umbrella company. This means that the agency will pay the umbrella company, who then after deducting all of the necessary PAYE and NI contributions pay the contractor their salary. Take a look below to see the key features of an umbrella company:

  • One of the differences, as mentioned above is that the umbrella company will make the deductions and also calculate any tax relief on allowable expenses.
  • Very little admin to do and the contractor simply submits their timesheets and logs expenses online.
  • The contractor will enjoy a continuous employment record which is handy for mortgage and loan applications.
  • Access to statutory benefits and inclusive insurances, this means the contractor can do what they do best knowing they are covered.
