Umbrella Reform 2026 - Prepare Your Supply Chain with Brookson

Recruiters and clients could soon be held responsible for umbrella company tax compliance. Is your supply chain ready?

Significant changes are on the horizon for the umbrella company market. While draft legislation is yet to be published, the government has made its direction of travel clear: tax non-compliance in the supply chain will shift liability to agencies and end clients.

From April 2026 (subject to legislation), recruiters and end clients could be jointly liable for unpaid PAYE tax if you’re working with non-compliant umbrella providers.

This represents a fundamental shift in risk – and waiting for the final legislation to act could be too late.
