Absolutely. Mrs DHL earns less than a few grand a year so no tax, and I get the tax relief on her low earnings.pblakeney said:
Bit of a hassle setting up a company, doing books etc, etc for a tenner a day. 😉darkhairedlord said:

Using your wife's allowance is not even tax avoidance, it is tax evasion. Not advised.ugo.santalucia said:... could still do it and pay all my tax on it... one has just to see whether it makes sense to work 3 hours and bring home a tenner...
Is there any upfront investment? Do they supply you with the bag and stuff free of charge?
As for Deliveroo, I gather they give you a bag and access to an app. That's it.
You do all the work and have to use your own bike. You'd have to be desperate, or looking for pocket money while doing interval training.
This is very similar to how most self employed business owners operate. Even MPs employ their wives on the staff payroll but they do censored all.
PS - There may be a cut-off but I thought if your wife isn't earning then you can claim an extra tax allowance, but you're probably doing that already. Right?0 -

I didn't think about students... of course they are a big market... wouldn't it be a laugh to deliver a pizza to my own students?ddraver said:Think this article answers your question, apart from the tax bit...
