You seem to be confused between umbrella companies and offshore potential tax dodges.

To be fair, that's how most of them advertise themselves. The unwary and the foolish fail to make the distinction.

Large umbrellas are stable ? Perhaps you want to say that to the Montpolier ( or whatever was called ) contractors or other bigfts that have attracted attention.

Are you sure what you just said is correct?

Why. Large umbrella's are stable and know what they are doing small ones run greater risks.

You seem to want to pull a fast one on someone or other and I can't work out why.

I suspect the reality is one or the other, not both.

Anyway, there are service providers on here, do your own research and PM them. I'm sure geoff from contracta IOM, sal626, vallah, breeze etc. would just love to talk to you.

What is disgusting is that UK agencies refuse to work with EU Umbrellas for UK clients. This is disgusting, in breach of EU law. Ahh who am i kidding.

EU law allows you to work through any EU company, but, it must be registered with the local tax authority. Your non-UK brolly wasn't. If your non-UK brolly were to register with the UK authorities with a UK tax nr you should have no problem working through it.

EU directives are supposed to be incorporated into National Law where possible but not to put Home Nation citizens at a disadvantage.

For example EU directives are ok with an unmarried partner where one partner is non-EU, so you can on the face of it wander around the EU with your Thai partner freely. But countries like Germany don't have an law allowing importation of Thai partners for their own citizens, so cannot incorporate the the directive as it puts their own citizens at a disadvantage.

I suppose its the same for the use of other State brollies, would using yours disadvantage UK citizens? In any case I doubt there is a directive on this, so the point is moot.

As a non UK national I should get to pay tax and social in my primary jurisdiction for the first 6 months , UK agents don't seem to be aware of this legislation though.

There's no reason why you can't - but you will need to contact HMR&C to arrange the appropriate paperwork
