Wife wages / SMP

Wife wages / SMP

Didn't find your answer?

My wife is getting SMP.
Once this finishes she is not going back to work and will help me.
Actually she has already started helping me.
Should I wait until SMP finishes before it is worth paying "wifes wages"?
Does SMP count towards using personal allowance?

Might it be Fraud????
Not 100% sure on this (not even, but are you are allowed to 'work' (even unpaid) and claim SMP at the same time??? Surely it's similar to SSP??

SMP is taxable
SMP is in fact taxable & does count towards using the personal allowance.
