@patrick1986 generally they don't, unless they have reason to believe that something dodgy is going on, like a director employs his partner, and she does not do any work. just a set up to pay less tax/maintenance etc.

Hello Mike. 

hope you ok, how,s things?

Thought would update you as CMS called this morning after nothing for months. 

They are going to treat my RSUs(like shares but not quite) as assets rather than income. So they will not assess me on them but if my ex asks for a variation in April(which she will) they will assess me on them then.

So kicks the van down the road really, but there is a chance I may escape if she doesn’t ask for the relevant variation.

 

cheers

Have question in terms of Unearned Income. Had Salary from my Limited Company, then obviously Stop Paying Myself and Start to work for NHS for way less money. Then CM change Payment from 500 to 200 £ but I pay for myself Dividends. My Ex ask Child Maintenance to check for Additional Income. 

NOW.

1. For how long this will affect my Monthly Payment if I took Dividends  ? They will brake down that Dividend and add to current amount (From NHS?)

2. If I have Limited C. And Quite Big amount of many in Business Account. Stop Paying Dividends (As will increase Monthly amount of CM?). Paying myself lowest salary until I will take all of the money from Business  Account ?

3. How to use Those Money in Business Account for my own purposes without changing Monthly amount of Child Maintenance ?

4. Lets say. Can I buy for example Car from my Business Account Money and then sell a car after 12 months but Money from Car Can I receive in my Private Account ? Does this will affect Child Maintenance ?

You can purchase a car through your business if it is justified as a business expense (e.g., for work-related travel). However:

  • Selling the car later and moving the proceeds into your personal account could be seen as additional income.
  • If the car isn’t 100% for business purposes, HMRC and CMS might view this as a personal benefit, and it could impact your CM payments.
