Overview

HMRC awarded research services to IPSOS (Market Research) Ltd for £120,000 to investigate how agencies and end clients are responding behaviourally to new legislation effective April 2026 that shifts PAYE liability from umbrella companies to agencies or end clients. The research will explore through qualitative methods the motivations behind business responses, evolving umbrella company models, and the effectiveness of HMRC's education and awareness campaigns to determine whether the policy's intended impact is being achieved.
