Working as independent contractors has seen a rise in the recent years. Stastisa back in December 2019 published a report stating that the number of zero-hour contract workers in the UK rose up from 225 thousand people in 2000 to around 896 thousand people in 2019.

For individual’s getting started with working as contractors they have two options available:

1. Setting up a limited company
2. Operate under an umbrella company

While some contractors do prefer setting up limited companies, working under an umbrella company is always a wise choice as it eliminates the unnecessary hassle of running and managing a limited company where the contractor needs to take care of running software, VAT returns, payroll, company accounts, taxation, etc, all by himself. However, with an umbrella company, contractors work under the Umbrella PAYE (pay-as-you-earn) structure. For contractors working under the umbrella company, it is an umbrella's headache to calculate and deduct tax and NI prior to you receiving your money.
