Benefits Claimed

Badger · 7th November 2008, 10:08

Before I start trawling the HMRC websites, I'm curious to know what, if any benefits I could claim as a minimum wage director?

Does anyone claim for things like working tax credit/housing/ etc

Not quite.

The ex-wife's being a pain and it looks like the kids may have to live with me for a while. I know I can arrange childcare vouchers, which made me wonder if there's anything else available.

If you paid yourself no dividends in the tax year I guess it could be possible. Immoral though IMHO

I wondered how long before someone would come along to defend the indefensible, in good old CUK tradition.

Paedophiles next, oh no we did that last week didn't we!
