    Navigating a PSL for new inside contract

    Dang. My search clearly slower than yours. Have been googling and found that and some other useful links for the others... https://forums.contractoruk.com/umbrella-companies/121106-sterling-umbrella-avoid.html...

    Which umbrella

    Hello there - wondered which umbrella you went with from that list? And how has it worked out?

    Navigating a PSL for new inside contract

    Thanks. I've just done a quick check of all of them on FCSA and looked at the CH entries for each. This has thinned the list down; Exchequer, Giant, Paystream, Sterling. Going to do some googling on these, and ask the agent about the list. I note Clarity getting a lot of good press on this...

    Navigating a PSL for new inside contract

    Just got this PSL for umbrella companies for a new inside contract. Any of these need to be consigned to the bin? Agent has said I cannot select outside of this list unfortunately, due to a compliance agreement. Which presumably is a good thing, apart from the restricted choice...

    I share the sadness. Thanks for the reply :)

    Expenses question

    I've just landed a new inside contract, my first, after the last two being outside. Whilst the role is remote, I will need to travel to site roughly every month, on a fairly expensive train line it would seem. If this was outside, I'd be claiming as expenses. The new client won't cover the...

    Recommendation for Umbrella Company (UK)

    Just posting here because I'm also looking at umbrella companies having just landed a new inside contract. I've been sent a list by the recruitment agency which I'm reviewing. This is my first inside contract, so this forum is gold dust to me. Umbrella company APPpayeLtd Azebra...

    Switching between outside and inside IR35 - tips?

    Thanks - do you mean this umbrella company? https://clarityumbrella.co.uk/contra...ay-calculator/ Margin they take is identical to Giant. Thanks for the link to the spreadsheet - who compiled this, and are Clarity on there? Presumably if the public facing accounts can't be reconciled, that's a...

    Switching between outside and inside IR35 - tips?

    Hello My current outside IR35 contract is ending soon and I've just got an offer for an inside IR35 contract which according to the generic contractor salary calculator means a quite nice pay increase: from 400d outside to 700d inside. My preference is outside IR35 but this is a good client and...

    Contracting in Australia

    Hi everyone, I was a contractor in the UK up until end of 2015 when I moved to Hong Kong to try my hand here. All good so far but also watching the I.T industry in Australia closely - some exciting stuff going down there in digital. My UK Ltd Co is in a dormant state at the moment and I'm a...

    Working under Ltd Co from Hong Kong OR Intl Umbrella Co?

    Definitely. All being well I'm on a dependant's visa in tow with my other half who starts on 1st Dec in HK. If her visa hits problems then, well we'll be in Plan B territory all round. :sick

    Working under Ltd Co from Hong Kong OR Intl Umbrella Co?

    I've done some digging and spoken to an international umbrella company, and my accountant. You're right in that as I'm a 1-man company, as soon as I'm working in HK then my company has essentially moved. However I am also told that there is significance in the length of time I continue to...

    International umbrella company for HK-based work, for UK client co?

    Hi, I'm looking for recommdations on international umbrella companies for when I move to Hong Kong at the end of November. My current client in the UK is interested in me providing support from HK, and one option is to use an umbrella company. Arguably this is the simplest option available to...

    Working under Ltd Co from Hong Kong OR Intl Umbrella Co?

    Hi, I am currently a contractor in the UK under my own limited company. My wife and I will be moving to Hong Kong at the end of November as she is starting a new job. My currently client contract will expire on 6th November, but they would like to explore ways in which I can support them from...

    Moving to Hong Kong - process?

    My wife and I have decided to move to Hong Kong at the end of November. My better half is a language teacher, so there are umpteen opportunities, and I seem to have options over there as an I.T PM. So my intention is to cease working in the UK by 13th November at the latest, to then take up...
