    ive obviously got hold of the wrong end of the stick!

    as i said , i am letting the payroll company deal with it, and was under the impression that the employer had to match contributions.

    she can pay all her wage in if i don't have to match it ;)
  • According to tax credits as a solo carer for four boys, 3 with asc, I'm not employed. Despite working 24/7 to care for them. The gov gives me £62 a week, which is taxable but according to tax credits I'm still not employed, so I can't get help with childcare for respite.

    So after much moaning and crisis and after crises, social services, might agree to give me direct payments. I will then be an employer but still not employed.. Despite having to arrange employee things etc, which will take up even more of the 24/7 that I'm already busy.
    I think I'm going to register myself as a care provider and register as self employed of course I will have three clients all with the same surname as me!
    That way I will be able to get working tax credits and help with child care, what do you think?

    Just to add im now in week four of house arrest ;-) due to my caring role, and kids of school or excluded from school. I saw a live in carer job recently near me for 1k per week... I'm obviously greatful for my £62 a week and so pleased my social isolation in valued so highly :rotfl::rotfl:

    These are my own views and you should seek advice from your local Benefits Department or CAB.

    Yeah, but to be fair she has started other threads enquiring how she can milk the system even more
    I'm a full time carer and there is no way I can work at the moment due to the demands of the children.

    I moved from my mortgaged house due to abuse from the neighbours, towards my children and the house is on the market. I now rent and have been getting HB while the house sells. I hope to have some money from the sale soon.
    I really want to do something to provide for my and the kids future with the money, not just waste it.

    If things go to plan I may get about 50k. There is a property which has come on the market (studio) for 45k it's rented out at £390 per month, round here nothing comes up in the price bracket, even a studio would normally be 60k plus.
    If I set up a limited company to purchase this property, I would then be employed as a director would I be able to claim HB based on my earnings? Or would it be seen as depriving myself of capital? So I could not get HB?

    So she wants to rent the property to herself and then claim housing benefit?:
    Is she for real?
    Loving the sunny days!
