PARTNERSHIP WITH SPOUSE

An often overlooked tax efficient structure for medical professionals with self-employed private practice earnings or Locum earnings is a partnership or limited liability partnership with their partner or spouse.

This structure can achieve significant tax and National Insurance savings especially in the situation where the spouse is a non earner or lower earner.

There can be a number of reasons why someone would choose a partnership structure over a limited company structure:

• Taxable profits are only minimal.
• Maintains a self-employed status.
• Less formalities and legal responsibilities.
• Partner's shares can be varied year on years according to the partnership agreement.
• Superannuable work needs to be paid to an individual as opposed to a company.
• Reduced annual compliance costs.
• A company is just not for you.
