ARGHHHHHH.
Can someone please help me. My daughter has recently become registered and we are working together in my home. Tax office said she can't claim 10% wear and tear because she doesn't buy things for the home. I wondered if I could have all the money from childminding , take off 10% and then give her, her share, but the tax man said she would be an employee then and I would have to become an employer. He was the most unhelpful man I have ever spoken to, just kept repeating the same things again and again instead of answering my questions and trying to help. Has anyone else been in this situation, how do you get on if you take on an assistant, do you have to pay their tax and N.I. and register as an employer, surely theres loads of paperwork and other stuff to do this and are you classed as a buisness ? Not sure what route to take. Any help please.
