Hi There - my brother has just had a visit from the Social Security and despite being told by his accountant that only he needs to be autonimo for his Restaurant Bar they have said that his wife who helps out also has to be autonimo and that he cannot employ here to lessen the payment. They make very little money especially at this time so looks likely they will have to close and therefore noone wins and all loose money.
Also
We have been told that having an SL company is the same - if husband and wife own it then the husband cannot employ the wife and even if the wife works there and does not earn anything she still has to pay social security and it can only be autonimo. Both are also administrators of the company. If the company is showing very little or no profit then its an impossible situation and probably will have to close. The same accountant advised that only one director needed to pay social security.
So much for family businesses!
