    Leaving umbrella co - charges and no expenses?

    1. Your brolly is correct, as soon as you make them aware that it is your intention to leave; the temp workplace becomes permie and so for that reason you would be unable to offset any further expenses. Speak with your tax office if you have any doubts, that way at least you will hear it...

    Consultation on offshore umbrella companies

    And what about those schemes that are set up using UK limited companies as fronts for the offshore scheme?

    Choosing an umbrella company

    ...if that's the best they can come up with, good luck!!! :spank:

    Claiming expenses from an Umbrella company when you've left a contract/project

    Yes that is correct, HMRC will treat the temp workplace as a permanent place of work for tax and is why all brollies will state that it must be your intention to work on more than 1 temp contract during your employment with them! If you don't want to risk a tax hit at a later date, just make...

    HELP, new contract in Italy

    Hi Lisa Any chance you can elaborate on your statement above as to why one could not use a UK brolly if the contract is to run in excess of 183 days? With having received conflicting information on this, it would be helpful if you would acknowledge the reasons behind why it is not viable in...

    HELP, new contract in Italy

    I don't really want to have to set up a ltd in case it does not work out working abroad and so the flexibility of the umbrella at this time is very appealing, what I need to know now is if the brolly I contacted are talking out of their back side or if what Lisa has said will mean that I will...

    Thanks Dave, its through an agency and the pimp want to pay in sterling and suggested Umbrella (but surprisingly didn't try to force one on me!! Makes a refreshing change) I spoke with HMRC and they say that I will only be treated as non resident if I am out of the UK for 183 days within any...

    HELP, new contract in Italy

    Thanks for the reply Lisa, but why does the length of contract present an issue to the brolly?

    HELP, new contract in Italy

    I've just been offered a contract in Italy for 1 year. It's a great opportunity and one I don't want to miss out on and so what I need to know is can I use an umbrella company in the UK for this gig and if so would I have to pay Italian tax in addition to UK tax and if so does anyone know how...

    I have just heard that Springbored have been acquired by a company called Sprite or Sprite Management, is this just hearsay or is there any truth in this?

    Claiming under 3 miles per day

    Tbh it would have been more of a hassle to put in a claim for the little miles anyway, then I'd have to send the fuel receipts in to the brolly (the recorded delivery costs at least £1.20 to make sure the receipts don't get lost in the post etc) all for the benefit of a couple of quid a week!!!

    Claiming under 3 miles per day

    I've always had to send in my receipts (computer software, books, meals, hotel, etc) to the brolly irrelevant of who I have used, but are you saying that I haven't needed to do this? I'm not sure that would be the case as how would the brolly know whether my claims were true or not? I mean whats...

    Claiming under 3 miles per day

    I think it is to do with the rules imposed on them by the dispensation they have agreed with HMRC, so if they have said you cannot claim your travel because you live within a stones throw of the clients site then they are probably correct in a sense...I have had similar experiences with at least...
