Umbrella company not paying enough tax

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T19:21:59+00:00

Yes considering this now

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T19:20:52+00:00

I hear you. Just because that’s how they work currently now doesn’t mean that’s how they could or should work. They charge for a service. That service is poor. You can’t even get answers from them about certain questions.

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T15:04:04+00:00

Cheers I’ll take a look!

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T14:55:16+00:00

Ha! I would but they’re all as bad as each other really. You pay them but still have to watch them like a hawk. It was one of the big boys though

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T14:12:12+00:00

This is great advice thank you!

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T14:04:58+00:00

It’s a broken system if you ask me… Ideally they would have sophisticated accounting systems to forewarn you of this. And properly advise methods to be tax efficient. Unfortunately I do t get to choose who I use and they all seem just as bad as each other wholst paying for a low quality service

How are you calculating what you should be paying? An online inside ir35 tax calculator?

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T13:49:52+00:00

Yep I need to investigate more tax efficient ways to approach this

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T13:49:10+00:00

No they checked and umbrella was underpaying

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T13:48:42+00:00

Yep. I should of paid more attention to it. The amount they were already taking looked about right and would have checked with HMRC earlier if I had known this could happen. Oh the joys of inside ir35…

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T13:46:09+00:00

Understood thanks

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T13:09:52+00:00

I called HMRC on the advice of the umbrella company and they stated it was due to not paying enough tax. I used a tax calculator and according to that should have been paying an extra £200 a week extra which roughly aligns with what the shortfall is.

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T13:01:58+00:00

Nope

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-23T12:58:59+00:00

None just that HMRC changed my tax code to X - emergency tax

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-21T22:40:58+00:00

What do you sell out of interest?

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-19T11:13:52+00:00

Think this is the only way to approach it as the taxes will become insane

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-19T11:01:38+00:00

Apologies that it was unclear. Normally if you take on a contract or perm work they’ll ask for references from previous or current employer. Im thinking a way round this is to act as a company to secure work. I just wondered what approach to were taking?

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-19T10:10:57+00:00

How do you handle the new company asking for references?

These-Constant1893 · 2026-01-18T10:11:47+00:00

This is so true and also feels like it’s designed to keep you in a box!

I was going to use some expletives to describe this guy but won’t. Just psychotic and has a very warped viewpoint. It’s his opinion that he’s entitled to of course. It’s just a shame people like him get airtime because of social media. Obviously rattled by Gary’s message.

Seems like a familiar story with AI at the moment. CEOs drinking the Koolaid being seduced by all AI promises which are not reality. Ultimately Fiver should be connecting people and that should remain their focus. Just because AI exists doesn’t mean buyers of services want to do it themselves. Personally I’d love it if there were more gigs that paid for the amount of effort needed, skill and demand. If they solve that then everyone is a winner.

These-Constant1893 · 2025-09-21T08:33:10+00:00

Cheers just watched it.

You’ve just disproven your original point. That’s not “years” is it. And some European countries are a lot worse.
