Who's my boss??

[harddoneby]

My employer owns a business and is paying me (His nanny) through the business. Frstly, is this legal and who am I actually working for? His company or him? He's yet to give me a contract.

I don't think this is allowed tbh, unless his business is childcare.

He should not be paying for his "domestic" expenses through his business.

I'm no accountant so I don't know if this is a bit dodgy tax-wise or not, probably depends on how he's recording it all, but to be honest I don't see that as your problem. If it is dodgy, it's him that might get in trouble with the taxman not you.

You are employed to do a job, you are being paid through his business (which he might just be using as a mechanism to pay you rather than setting up another payroll), so the issue is that you haven't got a contract. Why are you 'harddoneby'? Is it the missing contract? Something else? How long have you been working there?
