Supervision, Direction and Control – the story continues

26 January 2016

Straight from the horse’s mouth

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with the very people responsible for making decisions around the implementation of SDC at HMRC’s headquarters in a rainy London. I was accompanied by a number of umbrella company owners and directors representing All Umbrella Companies Are Equal (AUCAE).

Financial Services for contractors

21 January 2016

If you are a contractor or have recently taken the first steps into contracting or freelancing then you will realise that your finances might be a little more complicated than a permanent employee. You might be receiving income from your own limited company in the form of dividends or you may be working through an umbrella company where your income might change from week to week.

2015 tax return checklist

7 January 2016

Are you ready for your 2015 tax return?

Most UK tax payers won’t ever have to complete a tax return under the Self-Assessment system as they pay the correct amount of tax through Pay As You Earn (PAYE) via their employer.

Business as usual

We’ve now had a few days to digest the information contained in Wednesday’s release of the draft legislation covering the treatment of travel and subsistence expenses for contractors. To paraphrase Mark Twain – “reports of the death of umbrella companies have been greatly exaggerated”.

Autumn Statement 2015 considerations

25 November 2015

So we watched the Chancellor deliver his Autumn Statement for over an hour, expecting some significant announcements on the future of contracting in the UK. At the very least we expected more information on the treatment of Travel and Subsistence expenses for temporary workers. Should we be disappointed or pleased that the speech made no reference to contractors?

Offshore vs Onshore intermediaries

5 November 2015
