HMRC Dispensation and Umbrella Companies

A dispensation is simply a working agreement between a company and HMRC. It is a cost saving mechanism for HMRC that helps them reduce the number of tax inspectors.

• A dispensation does not benefit a contractor.
• A dispensation does not mean less paperwork for a contractor.
• A dispensation does not affect what a contractor can claim as a legitimate business expense.

A dispensation is, primarily, a means of reducing HMRC paperwork, through estimating the value of multiple small transactions - rather than itemize every single penny throughout the year.
