[KS Cleaning]

I would have thought your daily rate would have been determined by whatever you could prove was your average based on your tax returns. Not what someone thinks a window cleaner should earn....

A win is a win however

That's true. However as a part timer, although I can earn £300 in a working day that isn't done 5 days a week. I also have to take off running costs too. And my other income wasn't affected.

And as I pay my wife to do my books that reduces my taxable earnings too.

So I thought £150 seemed fair for the day I lost.

I was going to do this too as my wife is taking early retirement from her work…..however my accountant told me I would need to set up a workplace pension for her so has instead advised me to introduce her as a partner in the business.

My wife is self employed.

Yep I get that, many years ago I had my wife on the payroll, a few promotions later in her main job meant I had to take her back off the payroll as she was in the higher tax bracket.
