Terrible company to work with. They screwed me out of lots of money over the years. As a contractor I've used them for both LTD Liability as well as Umbrella and I should have ditched them years ago. Please don't use them. There's much better and more ethical companies to trust with your contracts. Before you even think about emailing or ringing them and a bit of time scrolling through the Google reviews.

Mods? I might suggest that this thread is just here to tulip-kick toward Parasol. I make no judgement regarding their service having never used them, but might it be an idea to delete in the absence of any substantiating evidence?

The OP hasn't come back to this thread so I'll give you a bit of time to read my reply then I'll delete the thread."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I paid parasol and found out that they hadn’t submitted my tax return because that wasn’t there problem to do that. I asked them what they thought people paid for and still wouldn’t do what they were paid to do. I found this out two weeks before the deadline to submit tax returns to HMRC.
They were absolutely rubbish. The staff were more interested in making comments about you no longer being in a team which just showed them to be some of the strangest people. I switched companies because they were so complacent over the tax situation. Never again will I use parasol.Comment

Heck I would actually say that any umbrella willing to complete your personal tax return isn't an umbrella but a tax avoidance scheme.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

In fact there should be zero need as RTI submissions should have sent the information to HMRC and you just need to confirm those figures and your P60 match.
