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

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:If you change nothing, nothing will change!!0 -

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?poppy100
