FCSA Umbrella Company
Are you looking for an FCSA umbrella company (an umbrella company that is accredited by the FCSA)? Look no further! Churchill Knight Umbrella is committed to compliance and is delighted to be a member of the FCSA. Providing a compliant and reliable payroll service is our number one priority!
Why choose an FCSA-accredited umbrella company?
The FCSA is the most respected industry body in the UK. In order to obtain FCSA accreditation, accountants and umbrella payroll providers must be able to prove they are compliant with HMRC rules and regulations.
Churchill Knight Umbrella recently underwent a thorough audit and review by independent accountancy and legal professionals – as part of our efforts to achieve FCSA accreditation. We were successfully able to prove that our internal procedures were in line with UK tax laws and that we operate in line with the FCSA’s Codes of Compliance. As a result – we were officially unveiled as an FCSA-accredited member in March 2020.
Having obtained FCSA accreditation, we believe there is no better way to showcase our commitment to compliance within the industry. Therefore, by choosing us as your umbrella company, you know you are choosing an industry-leading provider.
Don’t be tempted by unethical tax avoidance schemes
We are frequently contacted by people looking for unrealistic take-home pay. While it can be tempting to choose an option that ensures you get a higher pay retention (often upward of 80 percent), this is not ethical and is against UK tax laws. If you are required to use an umbrella company for your assignment, you will receive PAYE. This means you will legally be required to pay tax and National Insurance Contributions (NIC).
Any company that offers you a noticeably high pay retention should be avoided – because they are probably a tax avoidance company that could land you in serious trouble with HMRC.
