Contractors such as IT contractors, freelancer contractor and sole trader contractor etc who want to stay away from the government duties and IR35 Codes normally linked with contracting terms such as issuing bill/ statements, tax calculations, making transaction/ payments to their bank account, and contributing to the national insurance choose to have an umbrella service from an umbrella company, which basically becomes a medium of invoice for the contractors. As the contractor get employed to the umbrella company, so there is no need to be worried of the IR35 rules and complains.
The contractor who becomes an employee of an umbrella company i.e. the contractor chooses for the umbrella services, he has to put forward the timesheets to the umbrella company so that in return the company can provide or generate the bill for the work that the contractor has carried out to the end client. The amount that is arrived from the client is been paid by the umbrella company to the contractor deducting some amount as the fees, since the contractor becomes a PAYE employee.
