What Contractors Should Know When First using an Umbrella Company

Starting out as a contractor and deciding whether to use the services of an umbrella company or set up and manage your own limited company can be bewildering.

Excellium Umbrella has compiled some useful articles for first time contractors, which guides them through the key issues and explains everything a contractor needs to know about umbrella companies.

 

 

 

Limited Company

You may find administering your very own limited company a huge commitment and extremely hard work, in our opinion it depends on the level of support you receive from your accountancy practice. Incorporating and running your own limited company may well lead to a higher net income after the deduction of taxes.

However, it includes responsibilities and deadlines that mean you may not always be free to get on with the work you are good at and enjoy...

Umbrella Company

Our umbrella service gives its members the ability to benefit from being legally tax-efficient, without having to worry about their IR35 status. Many of the tax efficiencies you will receive working with Excellium come from the genuine business expenses allowances that can be offset against tax which are directly negotiated with and agreed by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

The mechanism that allows this to be organised on your behalf occurs as we are not obliged to report every single detail of an expense claim (travel, subsistence, etc.) on a tax return and can "dispense" with much of the paperwork, hence "dispensations".
