Spouse short term contract through the same Ltd. company

[LondonManc]

I have asked this question to my accountant but he does not have any views on this, he has advised that I can go either way. But he has not said if there are going to be any contractual/legal/taxation issues in future, which makes me seek advice of the learned members on this forum.

Garbage. That's his job, especially the taxation part! What are you paying him for?

having to ask random strangers for advice

If random strangers didn't ask you for advice, then you'd be out of a job on this forum :-)

Hee hee. Well there is that. Bit of advice on this and that but setting your Limited structure up for you because your accountant is tulip I'd be happy to do without.

You need to think about the difference between being an employee, a shareholder and a director.

100%.

Until you've got a clear handle on that, you don't know enough about this decision to even ask the right questions.
