I was told that we wouldn't need to use the deemed payment calculator as we're paying all taxes each month via PAYE? Not sure how I can account for the 5% it gives though.Comment

I presume then he won't be able to utilise the employment tax allowance then, hence the 14% disadvantage advised on the earlier link.Last edited by Jenme; 19 September 2017, 17:22.Comment

If he was paying an accountant, he would be able to offset the fee as an expense instead - you're right, I can't be an employee (which is fortunately how I have run the payroll this month).

There's a lot of muddled language being used in this thread.
If you're both shareholders you can split any profits the company makes by paying dividends. But if all of the money the company is earning is coming from your husband in an IR35 contract, then there isn't actually any profits for you to split as it is all paid to him as salary (subject to the 5% expenses allowance).
None of this affects whether or not you can be paid a salary by the company for whatever role you're doing, but if the company has no additional income coming in besides the IR35 contract, then it can't actually *afford* to pay you. The money just isn't there.
The best advice I can give is for your husband to start looking for an outside IR35 contract. This will allow him to pay himself more flexibly, build up a warchest, share the profits with you when you have accumulated some, and the company will have sufficient cashflow to pay you a reasonable salary as well.Comment

Admittedly having to sign that form is problematic... Is this commonplace nowadays?Comment
