Hello there
I decided to get my husband registered as we have been approached to do a Saturday but due to numbers would need extra adult. Also, there have been times when needed to be somewhere else so if he was registered he could take over (mainly when he gets back from work), so I could go to doctors for example. Numbers during week are covered by 1 adult.
Care Commission (Scotland) said we would need to be a partnership. However, would this then mean he would have to declare half the earnings from all the childminding as his? It is as though we are now partners in a business instead of me as a sole trader? Or can he just declare half the Saturday earnings as that is all I really need him for? Or is there a way he can be in the partnership but I just declare the earnings as mine?
I am just thinking it's not going to be worth it if he has to pay tax on half the earnings as he is already employed.
Many thanks!:)
