In that very statement we have some of the issue... "Umbrella Company" does not adequately define what we do and what others do so we all get tarred.
At last budget the emphasis was on travel and subsistence expenses as they are claimed by Contractors working through Umbrella's. HMRC have introduced scale rate payments in an attempt to create a level playing field for all employers.
