I'm guessing that ANSOF wasn't expecting to have to pay Employer's NI, because surprise, surprise no-one told him.

So I can imagine it was a bit of a shock to suddenly find yourself paying about an extra 10% tax (the first 5K-odd is 'free') than what he was expecting.

He therefore wants to find out if he's being conned and get our expert opinion.

Sadly is it correct. This is quite common for new contractors going umbrella. The agent doesn't mention it, the umbrella doesn't mention it. This is partly because they are not legally required to, but largely because they want to sucker you in with what seems like higher net earnings than it really is.

Employers NI

ANSOF

I guess you must be using their Umbrella service and so are an employee.

You are not paying Employers NI, but the Umbrella Company is, and it is coming out of the Contract rate you agreed with the Staffing company.

To see how this all fits togeather there is a video and a spreadsheet here, so you can check the calculations.
