From April 2026, businesses that engage workers via umbrella companies, typically through agencies or intermediaries, may fall within scope of HMRC’s new joint and several liability rules. This changes how PAYE and NIC risk flows through the labour supply chain, and the financial, operational and reputational exposure can be significant.

Join us for our April 2026 Umbrella Reform Webinar, hosted by Julie Barrow-Read from RedWizard and Jack Spencer from Freeflexer. Please see agenda below.
