Wife's wages

Wife's wages

Didn't find your answer?

My client's P&L includes £5000 for wife's wages ( she has no other income). Now the couple applied for a mortgage and the lender sent me a letter where they ask me to confirm wife's employment. I am not sure if that's employment. Can you please help?

What is it, if it's not employment?

The term "Wages" seems to indicate employment to me.

Are you more concerned that no wages were paid to the wife?

The wife works with her husband two days a week. His takings are mostly cash and that's how she is paid. Her husband is not a registered employer - she is the only person working for him.

It would seem advantageous all round if the wages was done properly for her pension etc.
