Contractor Expenses | Umbrella Company UK

The regulations regarding expense claims for contractors working under umbrella companies have changed significantly over the past few years.

How to claim expenses

To claim back expenses, all you need to do is log into our portal using your email address and password you gave us when you registered and submit your claim.

Hard copy expense forms are available on request should you require them; however, we must make you aware that submitting your expenses via this method will take longer as they will need to be returned via post along with original copies of VAT receipts.
