company director & maternity allowance
I have a client who will be entitled to maternity allowance as a self employed worker, earnings over £50k, net profit £35k per year.
the question i have is that she is also a director of another company and receives a small income from this (about £100 per month), could this in any way be counted as working and therefore preclude her from the maternity allowance?
Thanks
Hi Dominic
I have a similar enquiry - did you get a response from any other source on this?
My client - will receive either a one off or two lump sum ‘retainer fee’ payments while she is on maternity leave and receiving maternity allowance on the basis of self-employment. She will not be doing work in exchange for these payments.
Best,
