This can only be done if the wife is actually working for the company. You cannot pay a spouse a salary just to avoid tax.

Note that I referred to circumstances where the spouse is a director.

Perfectly acceptable to pay the spouse (say) €25k per annum in his/her capacity as a director.
 
No disrespect, but you might also want to consider the possibility that the couple might split up in the future. It does happen.

Do you really want a significant part of your assets in her name and under her direct control?

That's a fair point. Though, in reality, if we were to break up, part of the split would be to have a fair and equitable allocation of finances etc. I am sure that my pension would not be only mine in that circumstance.
