PAYE UMBRELLA

The simplest way for a contractor to get paid is to work for an umbrella firm. An umbrella company's registration process is simple and quick, and once you register, the business hires you on the spot. You won't need to open your own firm or perform any other administrative duties besides turning in timesheets if you use this payroll solution.

You will be responsible for paying all of your taxes, including income tax and national insurance, through your umbrella payroll provider. IR35 laws are also not applicable under this choice, therefore you won't need to worry about them.

LIMITED Company

When you establish a limited company as a contractor, you take on the roles of director and shareholder. Salary and dividends, which are paid into a business bank account as after-tax earnings, can be used to pay yourself. One factor contributing to a limited company's ability to provide a higher take-home pay is that the tax rates for dividends are lower and they are not subject to National Insurance.

If you select the limited company option, you ought to be able to open a business bank account. Limited firms need to file documents and complete paperwork on a fairly frequent basis. Though clients and agencies prefer to view registered firms as more trustworthy, this choice can be very profitable.
