While contracting for the first time can be a daunting experience, it can be equally rewarding. There are many benefits to contracting across the sectors with Mint, for example:
We offer a straightforward and stress-free service. Not only do we believe in keeping our clients informed and up-dated throughout the process, but more importantly you can be assured that you will be paid on time – every time. This means you won’t have to worry about your finances.


Your agency will place you at work and provide you with all the details you need to know with regards to your employment.

Your agency will provide us with your timesheet of working hours each week. We will then raise an invoice to your agency.

You will receive a payslip via your portal detailing your gross pay and net take-home pay along with all the relevant deductions.

When payment is received, we will deduct our fee and the necessary taxes and then transfer your payment directly to your bank on your nominated payment date.

All UK based PAYE umbrella company providers are governed by HMRC, which means that non-compliant umbrella companies can provide you with a higher amount of take-home pay than any other. It is better to look for a provider with a flat fee as these ones are potentially cheaper.
Customer support and the ability to easily submit your timesheets and expenses are also valuable factors to consider.
You should always ask for a full breakdown of all deductions, and if there are any hidden costs or penalties, such as set up and leaving fees.

IR35 is a piece of UK tax legislation designed to stop workers claiming to be contractors purely for tax benefits.
If you’re a contractor, you need to make sure that you are IR35 compliant. If you are a recruiter, you will need to make sure your candidates are IR35 compliant.
If you are a contractor in the Public Sector from 6 April 2017, you are not able to determine your own IR35 status – it must be determined by the public sector body providing you with the assignment.
If you are a contractor in the Private Sector, changes to off-payroll legislation (IR35) will come into effect from 6 April 2021. Just like the Public Sector, after 6 April 2021, your IR35 status must be determined by the private sector organisation you are working for.
