this is a query about employment allowance claims . i am a sole trader for business A and a director with 50% shareholding in business B which is a incorporated LTD company i currently run PAYE payrolls for business A and business B through an agent a claim for employment allowance for business A is made but has not for business B . am i able to claim employment allowance for the separate LTD company ? i am told because both payrolls have my name attached that only 1 can be claimed. i would like clarification as the guidance on this from HMRC is also very grey. both companies are within hospitality but both separate businesses.
