Contractor Solution

Many contractors operating One Man Band co's know that they have a potential IR35 (reclassification by HMRC as an employee) risk as they may only have one customer. Typical examples could be offshore workers in the Oil and Gas industry or IT consultants. Our solution mitigates IR35 risk and allows our customers to retain 82% of their earnings.

Director Solution

Based on the contractor solution, our director's product allows the director to consult to his own company. This consultancy is deductible for corporation tax purposes. Our clients are able to retain 80% of their earnings.

Limited Companies

We currently have 2 solutions in place for limited companies.

Ø Employee Benefit Trusts (EBT's)

EBT's allow companies (with profit before tax > £200k) to extract profits from the company almost entirely free of taxation. 89% of profits can be retained.
