Save tax by employing your nanny through your company
Those employing the services of a nanny to look after their children will usually fund the nanny’s salary out of their net of tax income.
However, what if you instead employed your nanny through your company, by adding them to the company’s payroll?
By doing this, the nanny’s salary would be treated as a benefit in kind, which means that it would be subject to personal tax on you, and Class 1A NIC (@ 13.8%) on your company. However, the nanny’s full salary plus Class 1A NIC would then attract Corporation Tax relief.
Getting the company to pay the nanny will mean that you can then reduce your salary/dividends from the company, since you will need less income by not having to fund the nanny personally. This saves personal tax (and employees NIC (@ 12%), depending on salary level).
Furthermore, you have the cost savings of not having to run a separate payroll and pension scheme personally for your nanny.
