Two things I wonder about.
1. does the money legally go to the girl or her parents/guardians (I guess a 16 y/o is still a minor), and how much of this is taxable?
2. how exactly is the tonality established for the English names?
- mikeash 10y agoNo clue for #1, but for #2, the English name is typically given in addition to the Chinese name, and since it's in English it doesn't have any particular tones.
- cjg 10y ago"does the money legally go to the girl or her parents/guardians" - what a funny way of looking at things. An employer with a 16 year old employee would just pay that employee and wouldn't recognise the parents as having any right to it. At 16 you pay PAYE - i.e. income tax.
- Symbiote 10y agoThe minimum age to register a company in the UK is 16. The minimum age for part-time work in the UK is 13, with exceptions for modelling and acting. Age 13-14, the most common job is delivering newspapers, since at this age there are big restrictions on working hours. At 15, it's more common to work in a small supermarket, but I think it's become a lot less common than 10 years ago. (Of course, there are unofficial jobs, like gardening and cleaning cars.) If this girl pays herself the whole £48,000 as a salary, the tax would be £12,693.20 leaving £35,306.80. Under 16s don't pay National Insurance (healthcare + unemployment etc tax), they would take home £39,600.00 from the same salary. The first £11,000 of salary is tax free, regardless of age. https://listentotaxman.com/ https://listentotaxman.com/ will calculate this. https://www.gov.uk/child-employment/minimum-ages-children-can-work https://www.gov.uk/child-employment/minimum-ages-children-ca...

- Symbiote 10y agoIn general, 16 is actually the more important age in the UK in practical terms. At that point, one can move out from their parents, no longer attend school, have sex, marry, join the army, consent to your own medical treatment, and apply for a passport without your parents' consent. Though it's generally not considered good life choices to be doing most of these this young.
