People employed in your business working for 'you'

[drivin_me_nuts]

I was talking with my missus this morning of the cancer inducing bacon buttie...

Supposing I was a builders firm employing staff to work on 'my' house. Do I in some way have to account fro their time and moneies int he normal business way. Sorry, thick question I realise but I am not sure about the law here. Part of me thinks it's some kind of 'crime', but I am not sure, so can someone please put me straight.

Thanks

I have a builder who had a lean spell, he still had to pay wages so he got them to sort his house and garden out, best be quiet about it though

Materials were not too much (few hundred), and easily lost in a £1m+ turnover

Hmmm.

The wages paid to the individual would still need to be accounted for under the PAYE/NIC system.
However, the element of the wages paid to the individual that relate to time spent on the personal affairs of the director/proprietor are not genuine business costs - and therefore should not really be allowable against the trading profits of the business.
