Post Brexit Will EU contractors be able to work in UK via EU Umbrellas/Companies ? Without any work-permits.. or maybe if the contract is inside ir35 a work permit will definitely be required, outside IR35 - maybe no work-permit required. Or maybe UK is going full blown North Korea - no one gets in. ( Except some back channel indian laborers. )

This is all unknown, we have a section for discussing Brexit and its impact. I will move your thread to there where it will receive the wisdom of those who dish it out.

If the government continues on their current course, I would assume that contracting will only be possible with work permits being issued. You will almost certainly have to work as a temporary employee. It is unlikely that you will have the tax advantages you currently can gain via an EU umbrella, i.e. operating as a self-employed contractor. I'm assuming it will be like Switzerland was before the Swiss-EU trade deal.

Which meant quotas on permits and the need to prove that a local wasn't available. and that the applicant was a graduate.
