Deemed Tax Payroll Solution

Umbrella companies vs. PAYE

On the face of it, there might seem like little obvious difference between working under an umbrella company and paying PAYE (Pay As You Earn) income tax via an agency payroll.

But the repercussions for your financial circumstances can be significant, so it's worth taking the time to learn a little more about the differences between umbrella companies and PAYE.

For example, you could be missing out on tax-deductible pension contributions, the ability to claim back your business expenses, and the advantages of being in continuous employment on paper.

Deemed Tax is one of several contractor payroll we offer, and is one of the benefits of working with a trusted payroll solution like Primis.

In this guide, we'll look in more detail at what you'll get when you choose the Primis Deemed Tax payroll solution, and who can benefit.

What is the Deemed payment solution?

The Primis Deemed Tax payroll solution is for anyone who works as a contractor on multiple assignments and would like to be paid via their own limited company. Primis will act as an intermediary to facilitate the payment from the client to your Ltd Company.

As part of this service, Primis will make the necessary calculations and statutory deductions from your gross earnings, ensuring that you remain compliant at all times.

Who Can Benefit from our Deemed payment solution?

Deemed payment is often used by workers who are deemed inside the scope of IR35, but who still wish to be paid compliantly to their limited company.

This means you have all the benefits of working with a trusted payroll solution, but you can still retain your own limited company structure too.

Why Use an Umbrella Company?

A legitimate umbrella company like Primis takes a lot of the administrative burden away from being self-employed, even if you have formed a limited company.

We have years of experience working with contractors in multiple different payroll structures, and we also keep up to date with any newly emerging tax rules and changes to legislation like IR35.

On a day-to-day basis, this means you don't need to carry out your own tax calculations or make statutory deductions to pay over to HMRC - we can do that for you.

Instead, you receive the correct net rate of pay for the work you do on multiple contracts, plus total peace of mind that you are fully compliant and up to date on your tax obligations.
