Tax advice concerning childminder assistant?!

[ButtonMoon88]

Hello I am registering my partner as my childminding assistant and he is going to work with me full time.

How should I set up my finances, should I employ him, or should he register as my partner in business? I'm a real novice when it comes to HMRC I just manage to fill out my own self assessment so would like to find the simplest solution!!

TIA X

When my partner was made redundant they registered as a cm in their own right. Assistant registration was too limiting for us with the 2 hour sole care rule. Already had the basics in place as had been registered assistant for ages ie first aid, safe guarding. Ofsted didn't insist on a pre registration course and took around a month to register.

So he became self employed also?

Yes self employed in own right. Separate self assessment tax forms etc

Same as my dh. Childminder with his own registration.

ok thank you!
