Committed to compliance
Churchill Knight Umbrella is an FCSA accredited Umbrella Company and this means that we operate in full compliance with HMRC legislation. It has never been so important for contractors to use a compliant umbrella company, as we will explain shortly.
Please keep reading for more information about the FCSA and the many reasons you should only join an FCSA-accredited umbrella for your payroll.
HMRC are actively hunting tax avoiders
HMRC is continuing to increase their efforts to catch tax avoiding contractors. You are expected to pay your fair share of National Insurance Contributions (NICs) and income tax. Therefore, any companies offering you unrealistic take-home pay projections (often upwards of 80-90%) should be avoided at all costs.
Did you know that HMRC can retrospectively punish you for using tax avoidance schemes and you may be required to pay a huge tax bill in the future? It is not worth taking any unnecessary risks because you could live to regret it at a later date.
Why should you choose an FCSA-accredited umbrella for your payroll?
The FCSA is the “UK’s leading membership body dedicated to raising standards and promoting supply chain compliance for the temporary labour market.”
Using an FCSA-accredited umbrella will safeguard you against any expected tax bills in the future. Having undergone thorough assessments and audits, FCSA-accredited umbrella companies (like Churchill Knight Umbrella) have been able to prove their internal processes are in line with HMRC rules and regulations. This means you have absolutely nothing to worry about because you are being paid compliantly.
