I used an umbrella company for 8 weeks during a contract as a project manager. They issued payslips about once every month, by email. All these payslpis had deductions for Employees NI and also EmployERS NI. I asked them why I had to pay EmployERs NI, they said it was to do with IR35.
I don't understand because initially they had said IR35 did not affect me as it was such a short contract. Also, I was paying them a hell of a lot in fees. Apart from ripping me off in other ways and being generally rubbish, I am sure I have paid too much tax.
Has anyone else had to pay EmployERs NI? Is this legal? Shall I go to taxt office and ask them to investigate - I dont think it's fair I have been charged for their tax.
