WCS - if it seems too good to be true it very probably is. Basic tax free allowance is £9440 per year - basic tax rate is 20%, higher rate on earnings over £32k is 40%. The scheme provider will take a fee of anywhere between 5% and 12% of the contract value. If you work out the maths 80% seems too good to be true doesn't it

Umbrella Companies

I'm new to contracting can anyone recommend the best Umbrella company to use and has anyone used Accessa? They seem to use a company share scheme to enable them to pay you 80% Net? Has anyone used this method before and is it OK?
