Hi I am a PAYE worker but my wife is the registered woner of a company and as i am the principle earner in the house revenue have me also registered as self employed for the taxation of this company.
My wife would like to transfer ownership of the company to me as she is returning to paye employment. If i was to be made reduntant from my paye job would being the owner of this company affect me if i needed to claim jobseeker benefit
 
Your post is unclear. Are you self employed or a PAYE worker? Or both?

If the PAYE job is completely separate from the company that you and your wife are involved in/own then your Jobseekers Benefit would not be affected, and any calculation would be based on your PAYE wages. If however, you are trying to claim as a PAYE worker in your wife's company, it is very possible that you will not be considered to be a genuine PAYE worker and will have no entitlement to Jobseekers Benefit.
