Please can someone give me a second opinion. New client contact – client works under “umbrella” company via agency, received pay over year, has no Tax & NI deducted receives payments gross. Manual worker, head in the sand now realises he needs to do something.
Received circa £60K over year. Any thoughts on how best to mitigate the tax… Tax year 2011-2012.

Payroll
Ask the umbrella company to process a payroll and then not make any more payments until the total net pay equals what has been paid
Sure it's a umbrella?
Are you sure your client is working via a umbrella company?
If so, the PAYE/NI obligations are theres?
Backdating
Perhaps the thinking beyond the first response you received is that 'you can't change history'. So the 'backdating' of documents / arrangements etc could well be a criminal offence.
It can be appropriate however to make a record now of the state of affairs which existed in 2011/12. I would not refer to that as 'backdating' though.
