solutions
At giant, we’re here to help you and thousands of other independent contractors make the most of your income. With the IR35 changes in April 2021 this has never been more important.
update 24/09/2021
Upon detection of suspicious activity on our network on 22nd September 2021, we immediately assembled a response team including IT data experts and specialist lawyers, and we are currently working with the highest priority to resolve this issue. As part of the investigation and as a measure of caution, we have proactively taken our systems offline and suspended all services temporarily. We are also liaising with the appropriate authorities to investigate and remediate the situation. We can confirm that our databases are encrypted.
We appreciate that getting paid in a timely manner is of the utmost importance and this is a responsibility we take extremely seriously. We are working hard to ensure as minimal disruption to payment schedules as possible, and we will confirm that your payroll is back to normal at the earliest opportunity. Where possible, an interim payment will be made to you today, 24 September.
We apologise for the disruption and appreciate your patience whilst we investigate this matter and work to restore functionality.
your options from April 2021
If you are affected by the changes to IR35 from April 2021 you may be considering what your options are going forward. Has your hirer said that you are caught by IR35? Are you allowed to continue using your limited company? Has the hirer insisted that you go through an employment solution such as umbrella? Will your pay rate be changed? How will your net income be effected?
We understand that these decisions cause uncertainty and that you probably have quite a number of questions. We hope that this website answers most of these questions.

what our contractors are saying
giant umbrella
Are you looking for a compliant umbrella company with pension planning options? Has your hirer said that you must be employed by an umbrella company after the IR35 changes in April 2021? Do you want a solution that uses the latest mobile 1st interfaces to make your life easier? Do you want the ability to join online? Would you like to save £1000’s using an employee benefits scheme?
With our margin starting from only £22 a week (£11.21 after tax relief), giant umbrella and our award winning employee benefits scheme, giant advantage, may be your answer.
giant PEO
If you are looking for a straightforward, efficient and easy to understand solution giving you the right level of support whilst maintaining your professional independence then PEO is for you. Once your agency has agreed to proceed, we can get you signed up quickly and hassle-free.
giant IR35 fee payer
If you are continuing to trade through your limited company after the IR35 changes in April 2021, you will require a ‘fee payer’ to pay your limited company.
The fee payer takes the HMRC financial risk of getting those payments correct with or without appropriate tax deductions, depending on your IR35 status.
Due to the risk many parties will not act as a fee payer. The giant IR35 fee payer takes away this risk.
