Hubby went self employed in Jan 2018. The CMS are wanting his company profits but obviously no tax return has been completed yet. Are they going to use these to calculate the maintenance payments for his child? He pays himself a wage and we live VERY frugally. The maintenance payments should be based on the actual money he pays himself rather than what the company makes?? Obviously I know that if he was to drawer a lump sum from the business then we d have to pay maintenance on that...am I wrong?
