I am currently overseas. Will be arriving in the UK shortly and will work in London. I will be working as a contractor through an umbrella company. This nameless company want to charge me about $2300 p.a. Is this a normal rate? Anyone come across any other umbrellas that are reliable but cheaper?

Ddo you mean that they want to charge you 1200 pounds or are you using the dollar sign a s a proxy for the pound?
As long as it is deducted monthly and not an up front charge, 1200 pounds this is a normal amount (note that I didn't say reasonable).

I think one of the cheapest deals on the market at the moment has to be from 'Go Umbrella', they are currently offering their service at a fixed rate of £10 per week ($20 to you ) so I guess you wouldn't spend much more than £480 per annum on fees with them assuming you take a minimum of 4 weeks holidays a yearComment
