UK Umbrella Company Reform 2026

From April 2026, UK umbrella company reform will shift tax, compliance, and reputational risk across contingent labour supply chains—turning what was once considered the "safe default" into a source of joint liability and regulatory scrutiny for agencies and end clients alike. This webinar unpacks what's changing, why it matters, and how organisations should rethink Inside IR35 decisions, supply chain visibility, and long-term engagement strategies to stay ahead of the reforms.
