I’m Inside IR35 for a Single Assignment

If you’re inside IR35 now but planning on being outside on future assignments, then by using Flex, you can put your Limited Company into non-trade status during the period you are working via an Umbrella, ready for it to be placed back into trading once you need it again.

Multiple Assignments Inside and Outside of IR35

If you’re working on multiple assignments with differing IR35 statuses, then Flex allows you to keep your Limited company open whilst also becoming an Umbrella employee. By having both working options through one provider like Brookson, you benefit from a number of things:

  • One dedicated online portal to manage your limited company and raise timesheets as an Umbrella employee
  • A combined tax return
  • Proactive advice through your named accountant who can identify specific tax saving opportunities as a result of having a complete view of your earnings.
