If you"re a contractor or freelancer, one
of your most unpleasant tasks may be
keeping track of the administrative
aspects of your business. Completing
tax forms, chasing payments from
clients and filing expense claims can
be time-consuming activities that
distract you from your actual work or -
even worse - eat into your leisure time.
The solution to these problems is simple
- use an umbrella company such as

everything for you and what’s more,
you won"t need to worry about IR35.

What is an umbrella company?
In the UK, an umbrella company directly employs contractors and freelancers who wish to work inside the IR35 regulations. Generally, an umbrella company"s services are accountancy-based - such as managing timesheets, calculating PAYE tax and NI contributions, invoicing the client and paying the contractor.
Other services provided by an umbrella company may also include HR support, and insurance cover.
Overall, an umbrella company makes it easy for contractors and freelancers to do their jobs without having to navigate the confusing and stressful maze of tax paperwork and administration. Ideal for new contractors who don"t know where to start, PayStream"s umbrella company services are also extremely useful for those who have been contracting for many years.
How does an umbrella company work?
An umbrella company will treat you in a similar manner to an employee in a more traditional business environment. You will receive a contract of employment and we will take care of all the administrative paperwork.
Once registered, you will submit timesheets to the umbrella company, as well as any other expenses that you need to claim. The umbrella company will then invoice your client and pay the money direct to your bank account, with your PAYE tax and NI contributions calculated and paid.
Umbrella company services from PayStream help take some of the stress and hassle out of being a contractor. You won"t need to worry about keeping compliant with tax legislation, meaning you can get on with your work. You will also receive comprehensive insurance, including £2m professional indemnity.
