GROSS is what you have on contract.
1. Don't get into the Umbrella company mess, set up a LTD and hire a good accountant.
2. For HSMP extension you will be showing your personal bank records, so pay yourself (from your LTD company) enough to cover at least +5 points on qualification in the last 12 months.

The guideline has a very thorough explanation about this.

If you claim expenses then your earning power for HSMP purposes is indeed reduced. If you have a limited company you do not have to pay yourself the required amount in PAYE to qualify for HSMP, dividends will do.
In any case, do not rely on any advice given here and instead just call the Home Office helpline.

Setting up a limited company is likely to be beneficial, unless you are on very low rates ...
If you are IR35 caught, then anyways you will be receiving higher salary ..
If you are outside IR35, as someone already mentioned, in year 2 , pay yourself a PAYE salary of the reqired amount (40k if I am right) and take the rest as dividends ...
The limited company gives you an additional benefit -- say, if you retain as much profit as possible in year 1, even if you have longer breaks between contracts in year 2, you have money in your company to pay the required salary ... You will not have this flexibility with an umbrella ...

I am currently on the HSMP scheme. my visa extension is after 1.5 years. i have got a contract role for 9 months. for contract jobs, i have to get registed with umbrella companies
The guy at the contract company says that i can claim for the expense on bus and house allowance.
my main thing is, if i claim for allowance will it be taken off from the gross pay. as i told i ahve my visa extension, so i dont want my gross to reduced
i would like to know if this would cause any prob in my visa extension. some ppl say that the gross pay would be less since we are claiming for benefits.
so pls let me know
Thanks

But i'm sure the expenses mentioned aren't going to make to much of a difference, I certainly don't think they will make or break your application.

Don't see why you have to register with a umbrella, as far as i'm aware anybody can set up a LTD Co, even if they are not UK nationals. What is the contract company? the agent?
oh and
guys
