We are currently dealing with an enquiry case involving a sole trader paying wages and employer's pension contributions on behalf of his wife who is employed in his business.
We have come to an agreement with HMRC as to what a justified salary package would be for the role and duties performed. The total salary originally claimed was approximately £4,500 and the total of the employer's pension premiums was approximately £3,000. As a compromise, it has been accepted that the total allowable wages/pension should be restricted to approximately £6,000.
