Claiming umbrella fee

[kingcook]

I have searched quite a bit for this, and remember this is Business not general so play nice.

As an Umbrella employee can I claim my actual umbrella fee as a taxable expense?

The umbrella gets paid by the client or agency.

You get paid from the umbrella (as an employee of the umbrella).

A great reason to avoid using umbrella companies - you're still a gimp who isn't in charge of their own destiny.

(EDIT: Sorry LisaContractorUmbella, it's just the way I feeel about brollies!)
