Cleaner/Gardener

[Bomber]

I'm thinking of employing a cleaner and a gardener and getting my ltd co to pay them. I work from home so I should think this is a valid business expense but talking to others they seem to think Hector wouldn't be very pleased. What's the general consensus?

Yeah I'm lazy and single and wish to stay that way!

Wouldn't that be a disguised Co Sec

Do you have business clients coming to your home? In other words does your insurance cover business clients at your home office? If not then no you can't get a gardener.

And with the cleaner if they are cleaning parts of your house that you don't use for business use i.e. your bedroom, bathroom then you have to pay for it yourself.

On a similar note: I am working AWAY from home and have rented a house which I crash at 3 or 4 times a week (with a now very overgrown garden )....

Can anyone advise as to whether I could pay a cleaner / gardener to come round and sort out the pig-stye that I am currently living in??

Plenty of people on the bench at the moment!
