We're EEBS – the CIS Payroll company.
And if you're weighing up an umbrella company versus EEBS, here's the straightforward comparison:
Umbrella companies often rely on zero-hours contracts. They only pay you for work completed, and while they may promise higher take-home pay through expense claims, HMRC is clamping down hard on what they see as tax avoidance.
At EEBS, we take a simpler, safer approach. We don't use tricky arrangements or zero-hours contracts. Instead, we pay subcontractors for their work, ensuring every detail is fully compliant with tax and employment law.
Here's the proof: HMRC has investigated over 50 of our clients, and our model has never been challenged. Can umbrella companies say the same?
Choose EEBS for peace of mind, no grey areas, and straightforward compliance.
