Il serait un bon idee si vous inscrit avec HMRC comme travailleur independent https://www.gov.uk/set-up-sole-trader. J'espere que cette information vous aidez

    I read so different things on the internet, if for exemple I want to buy a computer or I take the taxi, did the umbrella can give me taxes back ?

    There is too much umbrella companies in London, is there a classement or something like that to chose ?

    Thanks

    I'd be very surprised if you could find an umbrella company that would employ you under those circumstances to be honest - you would be better working as a sole trader if you can

    If your work is ad-hoc (or random) the best way to do it is as a sole trader.

    Only if they require you to work through another legal entity should you consider using an umbrella company. That's because it will cost you more in fees.

    If the work that you are doing is irregular then an umbrella company would not be the best option for you - as SueEllen said - if the companies you are working with will accept you operating as a sole trader then that would be your easiest way forward until you have an established business

    Would your French customers accept you as self-employed? If so you can do it that way.

    You just have to register as self-employed with HMRC. It's not very tax efficient but least you can work immediately.

    If you do then get more customers and have to form a company you can then do so. You don't have to charge VAT until you reach the threshold of £81,000 a year.
