Understanding Your Umbrella Risk
New legislation means agencies can now be held liable for unpaid umbrella taxes. Get clear, practical guidance on what this means for you.
What Has Changed
From 6 April 2026, recruitment agencies may be held financially liable where an umbrella company in their supply chain fails to meet PAYE or National Insurance obligations.
This shifts responsibility beyond the umbrella provider.
If you engage umbrella companies, it is important to understand, where your risk sits, and how to evidence compliance.
