I have come off of JSA and have now done 6 months on the NEA scheme, I have set up a small company called Stow PC which deals with the servicing and repair of PCs & Laptops. I do not make a lot of money doing this but I hope it's enough to see us by, we will see. Anyway, my question is ... my wife enjoys baking and I have encouraged her to sell her cakes & stuff locally, we've set her up on Facebook as Laura's luscious Cakes & Bakes and she has done a little bit of work, but again, not bringing in an awful lot. I have always worked in the past and she has always just been "my wife" as far as taxation was concerned, but is that the same situation now ? I am registered to pay NI contributions and to pay tax next year (assuming I make enough money to be taxed of course !!) but can my wife continue to just be "my wife" or should she also be paying NI and be registered herself ?
Hope this makes sense ... it's something I've been wondering about for a couple of months but has been brought forward in my "need to know list" as I have received a letter from the council requesting information about my circumstances, probably triggered by coming off on the NEA scheme, and one of the first questions is "Do you have more than one business ?" ... I have nothing to hide and I want to be straight with these people, so does my wife's cake making classify as a second business or is she just an off-shoot of Stow PC ?!?
Thanks in advance for any help here ...
