Frequently Asked Questions
How do umbrella companies work?
The umbrella company becomes the official employer for contractors and freelancers who work inside the IR35 regulations. The company assumes responsibility for the bureaucratic work of sending invoices, calculating PAYE tax, managing timesheets, NI contributions, collecting payments & more.
This simplifies the paperwork associated with contracting which in turn eases workers to focus on what they are paid to do while also making sure that they receive their dues within a reasonable timeframe.
Why choose an umbrella company?
An umbrella service gives you legal employee status and handles all the paperwork. It’s the simplest solution for most contractors, with no unexpected tax bills and because you have one continuous employment it’s much easier to secure important things like loans and mortgages too.
What is an Umbrella Company
Umbrella companies act as an intermediary for freelancers and contractors working inside IR35 regulations, making it easy for them to go about their temporary assignments.
Is it worth using an umbrella company?
If your contract falls inside the IR35 legislation, it is likely to be the only alternative solution to PAYE direct engagement with your end-client or agency.
An umbrella company is ideal for short term contracts or your first foray into the world of contracting. Staying with the same umbrella gives you a continuous employment record and the right to statutory employment benefits.
Am I classed as self-employed if I use an umbrella company?
No. Although you may be regarded as a contractor or freelancer both your employment and tax status, is that of an employee of the umbrella company. This is in contrast to a worker who operates as a sole trader or through a limited company (outside IR35).
Are umbrella companies regulated?
All umbrella companies must comply with tax and employment laws. An independent organisation – the FCSA (Freelancer & Contractor Services Association) accredits compliant umbrella companies and promotes best practice.
Will I be entitled to statutory benefits using an umbrella company?
Yes, as well as being entitled to holiday pay, if necessary, you can claim Statutory Sick Pay. You will also be entitled to Statutory Maternity or Paternity Pay as appropriate. The National Insurance Contributions you make will help secure other state benefits including the State Retirement Pension.
