Background

In recent years, healthcare professionals have been working for the NHS and local councils through their own companies, and making their own tax and national insurance calculations. As of April 2017, the Government has decided to stop this practice by asking all contract staff (agency workers) to either work directly for the NHS or Local Council, or work through an agency that will deduct tax and national insurance. As most agencies are unwilling to do this, most healthcare professionals have turned to umbrella companies to solve this problem.
