What is a PAYE Umbrella Company?
A PAYE Umbrella Company is an intermediate company responsible for deducting payroll taxes on behalf of a Contractor.
All payments are processed via the PAYE system with accurate calculations and deductions of tax, PRSI, and USC to ensure you're fully compliant with no hidden tax surprises.
This is an ideal solution for Professional Contractors and freelancers who are contracting on short term projects or those wishing to maintain Class A PRSI Contributions.
As a leading umbrella company for contractors in Ireland, we combine smart technology with real support. Your entire umbrella company setup is handled online, start to finish. Our contractor app and online portal also put everything at your fingertips, from payslips to expenses, while your dedicated account manager is always on hand for anything you need. Whether you're in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, or working remotely, you get a fully managed PAYE umbrella solution with a personal touch.
