There is some law along the lines that spouses can't employ each other in a domestic capacity, to prevent exactly this type of arrangement presumably.

Sadly it is true - it would be ideal if my DW could become an Ofsted registered childcare provider and I could pay her to look after the kids using tax free childcare vouchers with her depositing the money into a pension.....

Could your wife start a small business providing laundry, ironing and packed lunch services which you could then purchase, .

Stuff ironing the shirts, why not take it to its logical extreme and add a bit of spice to their love life at the same time by her charging for sexual favours ?

Hmm, wouldn't there be some sort of offsetting charge for that one - would we need to prove to the revenue that the balance of services provided should result in payment by the main wage earner?!

Depends rather, given how much either of you is being paid, on which is the main wage earner I'd imagine...
