How much do you pay your housekeeper?

[meadandale]

[quote=briansd1][quote=ocrenter]looks like the going rate is $100/per day. which is the same as a day labor. assuming the husband is a day labor and the wife is a cleaning lady, that’s $200/day, x 25 days, that’s $5000 a month, tax free. [/quote]

Could it be that most “responsible” parties on Piggington are withholding taxes and remitting them to the government?

I think that I’m the only one who’s paying cash. Bad me!!

What about landscapers and handymen?

If it’s tax free, they wouldn’t get Social Security in old age.[/quote]

If I hire a housekeeper, I’m not their employer, I’m their client. It’s their responsibility to report their income and pay their taxes–just like when I hire a plumber, electrician or landscaper.

I believe the argument hinges on whether she brings the cleaning equipment and products or you supply the cleaning products.

Some political appointees have run into problems because of the “nanny” tax.

I guess one can interpret the rules to fit one’s needs.

by the time they are old, there would not be any Social Security.

I’m certainly not planning my retirement with Social Security in mind, I fully expect that to have imploded well before I retire.
