    day job for wife

    Thanks to all for the responses. Very helpful. I think I have another idea now. My wife can invoice the "company" directly without involving me or my limited company. It is just filling into excel some publicly available data. Payment amount involved is not large so think this should be a cost...

I suggested my wife who is a director in my company can do it. They ("client") are fine with that. My question is - Do I need any PI cover for my wife to...

    3% SDLT extra

    Chaps In light of the increase in SDLT does it make sense to buy my second house ( current would become BTL) via the limited company! That will save £20k on SDLT on a 600k purchase which is sizable!! Also easier to manage inheritance and no cgt if I live in it till I drop!! Cheerios
