Do I need a director’s fee in my company if my company is dormant whilst I work through an umbrella company? No - as you can potentially utilise your personal allowance to offset against income taxed at source by the umbrella company paying you.
Do I need a director’s fee in my company if I am captured by IR35? No - as you can potentially utilise your personal allowance to offset against income taxed at source when paid by your agency into your company.
Do I need to Close my Limited Company Down if I am Captured by IR35? No. There are many different options available to contractors captured by IR35 for their current contract. Depending on your circumstances, closing your limited company down may be a preferable option, but it is not essential.
Who is the Fee Payer or Deemed Employer? If you are inside IR35, your ‘fee payer’ is the party above your Limited Company (PSC) who is responsible for deducting national insurance and tax before paying you net earnings.
