I guess we should find out - my worry about scholarship :) would be that
you're not allowed to expect the scholar to do anything other than their
study, otherwise it's more or less another form of employment, but I
have _no_ idea.
I would always be wary of schemes which could be construed as attempting
to get around employment rights / taxes, but there must be some way we
can do this.
Good point, I think the difficulty is that the money is paid in advance
of work with the expectation of work. Most
bursaries/awards/scholarships/prizes work the other way around.
As the tax office will be a major adjudicator, I guess they are the ones
to consult.
I can see the leading question:
"Hi, we want to er.. pay someone to do some work .. err.. without them
having to pay tax."
...
"No it's not me thats being paid, it's..."
...
"Honest, it's a sort of scholarship scheme"
...
"No, I'm not paying my wife"
...
"Why do you want to know my NI number all of a sudden?"
hmmm
