How will doing this affect his finances & possible educational costs?

He currently has no finances really. And I pay his school fees.

What sort of thing do you mean?

Its the sort of arrangement that HMRC look at very hard

So I'd say be very careful

You could transfer the property to a trust so your son can have the income but not access to the capital.

I would be inclined to make it a discretionary trust in case he needs to claim a means tested benefit


They can look, but, tbh we are talking about less than five grand a year. If all he did was cut the grass and cleaned between tenants he would be under paid.

We did have an accountant once. He charged £500 to fill in the form for me but I had to provide all the figures. He offered no advice. More of a robbing bastard, than an accountant, tbh.


I will PM you. If you have a good accountant, he should cover his own costs.

As a student he won't need to pay tax (under the PA of £10k and looks like he won't need to pay NI (£153 a week per week).

As an employer you may need to pay NI but there's a current exemption up to the first £2k so you should be clear of that was well.

I've forgotten the original question so hope this helps.

If Chez et al haven't answered your question I will ask Jack as he has employed his son and my daughter on the farm at times.

If ever you have another similar vacancy I'm happy to undercut. I also have no school fees & pay my own NI...

You can't undercut, unless the money I pay you then goes to pay his school fees, insure his car or replace my beer.

Is it a zero-hours contract, too?

Well, yes, but as I'm the worlds greatest employer, I pay the five grand, even if you do zero hours.

Are you sure? The pay is only notional and you'd have to put up with an untidy bedroom populated by an Inbetweener.
