Can I employ my children?

Written By Damion Viney

Generally children who are 13 or over can be employed. To be tax deductible payments should be comensurate for the work they are doing.

Children under 16 do not need to be put on PAYE as they do not pay National Insurance. Children above 16 should be employed under normal PAYE rules.
