Best Payroll and Timekeeping Services in Ipswich

The first thing we would need to know is where you are tax resident; in order for you to work with a UK umbrella company you would need to be tax resident in the UK as all payments are made through PAYE. If you at any point you become tax resident elsewhere then unfortunately your taxes will more than likely be due in that country. For most countries you can work abroad for a period of up to 6 months (180 days) after which time your tax residency will change to the country you are residing in. It is also worth noting that if you go over the 180 days, then taxes may also be due in the country in which you are working, so you may end up being dual taxed. Simply returning home for a matter of weeks and then returning to the same client under the same role will not suffice in breaking the 180 days. Please note that there are certain countries that we cannot engage with due to their complex tax systems, at this point please do get in touch and we can refer you to a business that may be able to help.

Here at Clarity, we run our bank statement every working morning. Assuming that the agency / end client has released funds and they have cleared into our account at this point then you will be paid the same day. All payments are made via Same Day Fast Pay, so funds should clear into your account by close of business that day.

Any calculations provided by Clarity use the standard tax code for the year, unless you request otherwise, we will also assume that you fall inside of IR35. Any figures provided are estimates and on occasions your circumstances may affect your final take home figure. Take home will differ if your earnings to date are high or low, if your tax code is different to that provided in the calculation, if this is not your primary employment, your working hours vary on a weekly basis.

You will need to check through your contract of employment to confirm what notice period is required. As an employer, the umbrella company should state what the requirements are in order for you to leave their employment. You will need to provide a notice letter, stating that you wish to terminate the employment and requesting a P45. The P45 will need to be supplied to your new employer wherever possible. At the end of your employment you will be able to move umbrella companies, however always make sure that you inform your agency or end client that you require no further funds to be paid over to that umbrella. If you do not make the agency / end client aware of the changes, then you run the risk of monies being delayed whilst refunds are processed.
