What I'm getting at is, I have the contract work lined up, I don't need more contract work afterwords, so what am I paying 20% for? If the umbrella company is charging £95 where is the rest going?
Why only 2%? The 20% is to the agency. Income tax is completely separate to that. Where is the other 18% going? (sorry I'm running to catch up with all this)
Thanks for the replies. My main issue with the umbrella option is they will charge 20%, which seems to be a hefty chunk for not doing very much.
I'll check with the company and see if they're happy with me simply going self employed for 3 months.
Hi
I've just been offered 3/4 months of IT contract work. There is no possibility of contracting after this, as I have a full time role lined up in 6 months time. I would be paid around £5000 per month.
My understanding is that all I need to do is self-assess with the IR for a short term...
