    heres a strange one

    I need to become ltd to pay my partner for the work she already does at the moment she does my books and I don’t pay her the reason I want to pay here for the work she already does (my books account and orders) is we want a mortgage but I cannot go on it due to past history, we earn more than enough money as she works 37 hours a week and I earn 30 plus per a year my question is this if she becomes an employee of the ltd company and I pay her £167 pw on top of what she already earns will I end up out of pocket after paying her tax and ni? thank for any info

    What does she already earn?

    And shouldn't you have posted this in Accounting/Legal - in General there is a good chance someone will ask for a photo of her norks to help with the calculations.

    In fact - have you got a photo of her norks to help with the calculations?

      I think I understand what you are asking but it would help if you re-write your question using proper grammar so that all of us can understand you.

      Are you a foreigner or it just the poor standard of English that the schools churn out these days?

        Nope, even with punctuation it doesn't make any sense. But suffice to say if you pay an employee you are liable for employers tax and NI, if the salary paid is above the threshold.

        She will, of course be liable for tax & NI on all of her income and this may put her into a higher tax band.

              So have I and it was not recognised when I went to school, they just punished us for poor spelling and grammar.

              You have no excuse, type what you want to say in MS-Word and check the grammar and spelling. Keep sentences short Always read twice what you have written and make sure it makes sense. Don’t play the bedwetting dyslexia card. I have worked with chronically disable IT people who are in constant pain and can hardly see. They never moaned once.

                  Why bother paying her? You are just creating more hassle for yourself.

                  You have two realistic options:

                  1: Instead of paying her a wage, since she already works, just give her shares and pay her dividends. So you dont need to bother with all the rubbish of constant employee payments. Just make a lump sum payment twice a year or so.

                  2: Wait until you are benched, then she will she that the money isnt rolling in anymore and decide to split up with you, taking nearly all your money and insisting you pay for a steak dinner for her and her new chap every day for the rest of her life because she became accustomed to eating steak with you.


                  Most blokes just concede the inevitable and go for option 2.

                    The idea is to pay her a wage so when applying for a mortgage it will show she is earning enough wages to get the mortgage she needs thanks.
