It's bollocks. The only variable is the Umbella's fees. Everything else is either your actual earnings and your legal expenses. Tax rates are set by HMRC and apply to everyone

I know that mal. but a dispensation is something alot of brollies use. I think its more specific than many others anyway.

Which makes no impact on what your take home pay is.

All brollies use a dispensation. Most consultancies do. And, as I've said before, my Ltd (number of employees 2) has a dispensation to.

Having a dispensation has naff all to do with your income, though.

Why are they still pushing expenses without receipts?

Why are they still pushing expenses without receipts?

Because they have a dispensation, innit?

Sorry, but my quote above is direct from their website and states that you can claim based on the number of hours worked without a receipt.

Where you are unable to obtain a receipt, and you are working at a temporary workplace, then within the umbrella company option subsistence can be claimed on the following basis -

Up to £10 if you work more than 5 hours a day not including travel time and excluding breaks

Up to £26 if you work more than 10 hours a day including travel time and excluding breaks

This is just plain wrong and misleading IMHO. Just because they have some disclaimer buried in small print that states otherwise hardly justifies this behavior.

They may be, if you can tolerate misleading and potentially illegal advertising material. Somewhere you'll find a line that says "the contractor retains full responsibility for his tax affairs" or somesuch (hell, even P4 managed that) - but you won't find it anywhere you're likely to read it. And it's not them that gets prosecuted for evasion, remember.

As for the comparison site, I said when it first launched that the basis for comparison can only be the fees charged. There is no other legal way for any of them to change your nett take home
