Umbrella payroll FAQs
What is umbrella payroll, and how does it work?
Umbrella payroll allows you to work on temporary assignments without managing your own business. Our umbrella company employs you, managing payroll, taxes, and compliance. We handle PAYE tax and NIC deductions, ensuring you receive your earnings accurately and on time.
Will I receive payslips, and how often will I be paid?
Yes, you’ll receive a payslip with each payment, detailing all deductions. Most contractors are paid weekly, aligning with the payment cycle of the agency or end client. Monthly payments are also available if preferred.
Are there benefits to working through an umbrella company?
Yes, working through an umbrella company simplifies compliance with tax and employment laws, as we handle PAYE tax and NI deductions. You also gain access to statutory benefits like holiday pay, sick pay, and pension contributions.
How are taxes handled through umbrella payroll?
Our umbrella payroll service manages your PAYE tax, NICs, and other deductions directly, meaning you won’t need to self-assess your taxes. This ensures you’re fully compliant with HMRC regulations and simplifies your tax responsibilities.
Can I claim expenses through an umbrella company?
Current HMRC rules limit expense claims through umbrella payroll, but we’ll advise you on any allowable expenses based on your specific situation and provide guidance on compliant expense reporting where applicable.
