Limited Company IR35 Advice All your IR35 related questions answered IR35 Advice International Umbrella Employment by International umbrella company outside the UK International Umbrella SDC Advice All your SDC related questions answered SDC Advice 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. We made them happy After contracting in the UK for some time, I was offered a great contract opportunity overseas. The thought of having to sort out paying taxes in another country as well the UK was a real headache. Crystal Choice was a huge help in putting me in touch with experienced international umbrella companies who could deal with my contract and tax payments easily.
