Umbrella companies act as an employer for contractors working on fixed-term contracts. They also serve as an intermediary between the contractor and their agency or end-client. Their main purose is manage payroll, organizing payment on your behalf. Earnings are received from the end client or recruitment agency and then paid onto you after National Insurance Contributions and tax have been deducted. 

Umbrella companies and agencies both pay their contractors through PAYE. However, there are some aspects of payroll service that umbrella companies are better suited to. Agencies, being paid by the end client and can cause a conflict of interest and may not provide good advice.

These schemes are referred to as ‘aggressive avoidance’ as they rely on sham arrangements in order to avoid tax. Though tax avoidance is not illegal there has been a number of cases recently in which contractors working under such schemes have incurred severe penalties resulting in extremely large tax bills.

Once you are working under an umbrella company, you become an employee of the umbrella company and are no longer self-employed.  In most cases, contract rates and negotiation remains the duty of your recruitment agency.
