    Because I've got much better things to do with my time (and possibly money spent on accountants) than support any investigation.
    Next stupid question?

  • Ludicrous claim from an umbrella? Of course it is.

    Found this in my spam filter, I won't bother to post the name in an effort to protect the naive.

    How do you keep up to 90% of your pay?

    It's a simple process and it stems from using us as your payroll company. Here's how it works:

    1. Send us your timesheets and expenses information

    2. We validate your expenses with HMRC and invoice for your work

    3. We sort out ALL of your tax and national insurance

    4. We pay you with up to 90% returned on your pay, with a text and email confirmation

    About Us

    We're a reliable, safe, fully HMRC accredited payroll company that provide the freedom of contracting without the hassle, cost or responsibility of managing your own invoices or tax.

    We also provide automatic professional liability and professional indemnity insurance for free and you get same-day payment, with text and email confirmations letting you know you've been paid
    I do find it amusing when I get spam like this, it's clear they hoovered my email address from a job board.

Working...
