While T McGibney above is usually well informed on tax matters, I cannot see why you would not take your wife into the business as a partner. It makes no difference, that I can see, that she isn't an "architect". Every business requires some marketing, administration, accounts, etc.
even though the wife is not doing the work but i will be doing it?, does it matter if she dosen't know anything about the job?
She sets up as sole trader so she knows about that but she is not familiar with the work itself, that's what I mean by her not knowing about the job. I do the work and she pays me as an employee, so it is her business but she dosen't have to be familiar with the work as she is paying someone to do it, surely that is not tax evasion?. For example say she sets up an architectural practice but knows nothing about architecture and employes an architect to work for her, is that breaking any law?
