I was on umbrella scheme for just under 2 years, it was worth it for me as I had a 40 mile commute (each way) to work each day.
You get taxed on the difference between your agreed wages and whatever deductions have been made, mileage meal allowance etc.
Wasn’t there something on here about tax people clamping down on umbrella schemes?

You’ve been had mate. I was with Nova last year and paid £15. I explained to them that I’d been in Umbrella and LTD schemes for years in my engineering work and they asked how much I paid. I told them £15 and straight away they said they’d match it.
Umbrella is just one big fiddle, the agency charge about £4 on each £10 you earn to cover there costs such as doing wages then the umbrella want paying to do the same job. Most thing you claim for on the umbrella scheme you can claim for yourself on agency PAYE.
