Umbrella vs. Agency PAYE?

[mowog]

Hi all,

I'm new here, and also new to contracting.

I've been offered a 6 month public-sector contract with what seems to me like a fairly mind-boggling day-rate. I've been told by the recruitment agency that I can either be paid PAYE through them, or go through an umbrella...

Hi there,

I've recently started contracting and setup a limited company. I got an accountant who advised me to take dividends at quarterly intervals and that he didn't think it necessary to setup payroll.

I have been working for my client under an umbrella company for a year now and have never claimed back travel expenses.
