Reply to: Go Umbrella?

Maybe we should just give exdbnchick and scartface (and all the other Umbrella reps out there) this thread and let them fight it out between themselves while we watch from the sidelines.

Anyone got the popcorn..?

Or maybe we just all agree to stop using the services of companies whose representatives are so ignorant as to assume we are all too stupid to work out where their sentiments come from.

Lets stop these muppets from ruining a perfectly good debate and advice forum

Safe?

Same safe solutions who recently went into administration following an HMRC investigation? And also charge 5% to do expenses!!! You're having a laugh!

A good point sir, many people confuse composites and PAYE brollies.

quite right, composites are what goes into my golf clubs, brollies are what goes into my golf bag.

...though now that I think about it so do my golf clubs....

bugger, that means I've probably mucked up my tax return

wait, no. It's OK, I've just spilt some wine on it.

... Oh my god! I've split some wine!

must...drink...faster

It's an umbrella. You get paid a salary related to your earning potential. You're de facto a permie. What company profits...?

Don't confuse umbrellas with composite companies.

Well thats' the point. That's 40k people paying PAYE and NIC as permies that quite probably don't need to be. There's another group who are clearly working a tax avoidance deal by using composites and taking divis - in all fairness (tm NL 1997) they are the ones who ought to be in the firing line, not the PAYE-paying temps and not those who are trying to run some form of business. But then again, when has anything this government done made any sort of sense?

So you are not paying PAYE & NIC at a permie rate and you are not paying divis - what what's happening to your company profits ?

I used Orange Genie for my first 6 month as a contractor. I did have to email them now and again about minor problems but overall I was pleased. I was paid on time and my emails were always answered the same working day.

Worked for me and I've recommended other friends to use them

They have close to 40k people on their books now, so they must be doing something right!

Surely that's 40k eager taxpayers that Brown can easily identify?!

I use em off and on over the last 4 years and they have always been very good. I think that blagger stuff is nonsense and clearly competitors dishing dirt.

Touche..!
