Nasa Group: umbrella and CIS payroll for contractors in the UK

Nasa Group is a Bristol-based company operating under the brands Nasa Umbrella and Nasa Accountants. Incorporated in 2006, it presents itself as a provider of payroll services for contractors, self-employed workers and recruitment agencies in the UK. Its activity focuses on payment management through umbrella PAYE and CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) structures, as well as payroll processing and regulatory compliance with HMRC.

Services for contractors and agencies

The company offers two main solutions: an umbrella company under the PAYE regime and a payroll service for self-employed workers covered by the CIS. Through its platform, contractors can register online and access a management portal. For recruitment agencies, Nasa Group offers compliance and contractor management services, including the possibility of integrating as a preferred supplier.

The umbrella service includes same-day payments as standard, text message notification and electronic payslips once funds have been issued. The company applies a flat weekly or monthly margin, with no variable percentage fees, and charges no joining or leaving fees and sets no tie-in periods. Contractors have a dedicated account manager, cross-trained across different departments, who acts as the first point of contact and responds to 95% of enquiries within two hours, according to the company's own information.

Pay calculator and transparency

Nasa Group provides users with an online calculator that estimates weekly take-home pay based on a daily rate. The tool uses standard assumptions, such as a five-day working week and a 1257L w1m1 tax code, and does not take into account student loan or pension deductions. The company warns that these figures are indicative and that, before registration, it provides a personalised and accurate illustration according to each contractor's situation. Auto-enrolment in the pension plan applies from the twelfth week with Nasa Umbrella.

FCSA accreditation and regulatory compliance

Nasa Group is an accredited member of the Freelancer and Contractor Services Association (FCSA), a certification the company describes as the gold standard for compliance in the sector. The accreditation involves an independent assessment of services, operations, policies and processes, and entails adherence to the FCSA compliance code. The company states that all tax and National Insurance deductions are reported to HMRC and that it provides information such as P45/P60 when applicable, as well as other supporting documentation for employment purposes.
