1. Since April 2017 my take home income has been roughly the same as a direct employee. I say roughly as I am calculating it based on 52 weeks of work a year. However, taking into account bank holidays and personal holidays, last year I only worked 47 weeks a year. Employees in my job get 32 days off + bank holidays annually, so I was losing out!
2. The umbrella company quoted a weekly income much higher than I ever received from them before I signed up, this amounted to about £50 a week lower.

The point I was making is that the HMRC should use this 6-month rule to determine whether you’re an employee or not and get your umbrella/hirer to give you employee benefits…like ‘paid’ holidays, otherwise they shouldn’t be taking employer’s NI off your agreed rate.
