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.
-
The contractor will enjoy a continuous employment record which is handy for mortgage and loan applications.
