Employing someone from your Ltd company

[Chase53]

Hi people,

Iam a contractor with my own Limited Company and my friend is due for his ILR application early next year and he is short of some amount to prove his last 12 months income.

So I decided to pay him the shortfall salary from my limited company as his second employer. And iam also ready to pay NI and PAYE tax for his salary. And my accounts are up to date so far and paying all the taxes on time.

So if we do this, will there be any problem for his visa?? And what are the necessary measures I need to take in doing so?

Please help!

Thanks,
Chase

First of all. This is legally not allowed. If this was the case..any one could open a limited company and hire and pay money.

You think the HO will accept such a thing?

Check with HMRC and competent accountants who manage large company accounts for an opinion

Thanks for your reply.

I agree with your statement but how does UKBA or HO get suspicious about the employee? As a Limited company owner, can I not hire people?

What I glean from HO point of view is that whether the applicant paid all the taxes for the income he has been claiming points for? And check the employer history and verify that the employer is genuine or not? Am I wrong?

Yes, everyone can open a limited company but the hardest thing is auditing which many people can't do correctly all the time and maintain records and submit all types of forms on time.
