Hi I am an employee working for a Designer Company.
Currently i have Land that i have leased and there is a lot of paperwork involved in keeping things going.
As i am very busy at work i am finding it increasingly difficult to keep up to date with stuff on the leasing stuff. I was thinking of getting my wife to take on this, she has been unemployed for the past 18months, but she said that she would have to be paid to do this. Is it possible to take on my wife as an employee and pay her a wage and claim it against the income that i make from the leasing?
I did a bit of reading and the Revenue says that you can only employ some one of you need a work force. This is very Cryptic as i could do the work myself but i would be at it all weekend at least 2 weekends a month.
I was also thinking of applying for the Revenue Job Assist for my Wife, as she has been unemployed for over 18 months. But reading the revenue site regarding this it says that the 'Created Job' could not be taken up by the Proprietary Directory of a company or the spouse of such a Company'.
Would you be able to tell me if this would apply to me as i would not be creating a company just employing my wife to do some paperwork for me.
