Foreign employer working in UK as consultant

[m11324996]

UK National here.

I'm waiting for my work visa from a non UK company but they are asking me to work as a consultant in the UK while I wait. Its going to be around 3-4 months of waiting.

I was wondering how should I organise things so Im not screwed for tax. I'm still currently working as a perm employee for my old employee (ie I havent handed my notice yet)?

Any advice is appreciated. Ie Umbrella, tax etc..
I will *hopefully* leaving the country at the end of the year to join my new employer as a FT employee.

Hmm confusing. If you are going FT won't your new employer deal with all your tax issues? i.e. taxed at source? I didn't think you had much say in how it worked and was their responsibility to get the tax right?

Maybe the fact you call your new person your employer is what is throwing me.
