Interviews, jobs & sponsorshipDo ya feel lucky, Punk? Well do ya? If so, here's the place to swap the hot gen on who's sponsoring or employing, their selection criteria, and where those oh so elusive first jobs can be spotted in the wild. Watch out for the tumbleweeds...
Well it all depends on our ever changing economy! At the moment it will cost me £29,282.97
That in euros is 32,725
My training is in EMA, according to my accountants I am able to claim back my vat and so is a nice chunk off as it arrives within 6 weeks of paying!
No questions it is a lot of money however as I have said in a previous thread I have worked for this and the money is about there now, so let's not turn this into how I am selling my soul to the devil!
Although it pains me greatly yes you are about right beak! But so is airbusfreak as it all depends on where we do the TR!
Good luck to everyone,
Safe and happy landings everyone!
Perfectly normal procedure. Just a bit drawn out from those I know that have done it.
A VAT reclaim on training costs is permitted, you will need an accountant to arrange this and obvioulsy be already set up as a Ltd company with a registered VAT number. I am told evidence of trading in the particular business which you are reclaiming the VAT against must also be supplied. It all goes through a verification process involving yourself (your company), your accountant and the TRTO. CAE in the Netherlands actually supply the necessary forms and provide the relative contacts within the Revenue and Customs department in Holland.
Hello
I've been watching and am curious. You want to work for Ryanair and talk about doing the TR at different places like CAE and Sweden. Does that mean you have been for assessment with Ryanair and then expect to have another interview for a job? -In relation to you talking about being more likely to get an interview if you go with CAE. Or are you planning on paying for a TR at CAE/Sweden then applying for a Ryanair job after you've completed the TR?
Not criticizing at all, just don't fully understand.
The assessment is with Ryanair at either the East Midlands or Stansted training centre. CAE in Amsterdam & Oxford (which was SAS) at Stockholm Arlanda are both TRTOs assigned by Ryanair (largely due to cost I may add) to conduct their TR courses. Funny enough, Ryanair has also started to conduct their own TRs at East Midlands! Wonder why, ehh?
What confuses the matter is that applying directly to Ryanair isn't the only route that the cadet can take. You can also apply direcly to CAE who forward your application to Ryanair. There is no promise that either route will get you an assessment, however with the fact that you may pay £260 for one will often lead to an invitation. The invitation will be from Ryanair and is subject to you passing the interview and sim assessment (and according to demand) you will be offered a course - in either Amsterdam, Stockholm or East Midlands. Ohh, and you don't get to choose where either!
Setting yourself up as a limited company and then working full time for one other company is something the UK taxman has been stamping on hard for quite a while now.
It'll be OK until they find out and care to stamp it out by issuing massive bills on pain of prison.
Right or wrong I've no interest in getting involved or furnishing an opinion, however I would just ask whether or not the UK taxman's jurisdiction now extends to the Emerald Isle???
Please do the very clever people who find these 'loopholes' the courtesy of a bit of respect Weasley old chap, who knows they might even know more about this sort of thing than you!
I don't think so WWW. In my experience the taxman is stamping down on people who set themselves up as self-employed and work for only one company. There's nothing wrong with a limited company doing work for only one company. They have been harassing people who employ their partners essentially to reduce their income tax bills, were you thinking of that?
Not sure if all cases are the same, but I was asked where I'd like to train, and I know several other people who were also asked over the phone which type rating facility they'd like to go to.
WWW - Brookfield pilots pay tax in Ireland and are therefore obliged to conform to Irish Tax Laws, not those of the UK. Moreover, it is highly likely that for political and economic reasons the Irish Tax Authorities and Ryanair have arrived at a carefully thought-out and entirely legal arrangement to allow these Limited Liability Companies to supply pilots for Ryanair's operations.
@callsign kilo. You say: What confuses the matter is that applying directly to Ryanair isn't the only route that the cadet can take.
Is this possible for a cadet? Because the website says you can only apply via SAA or CAE. Hopefully applying directly to Ryanair opens an extra door, because the normal application seems to take a looong while before you can expect a call;-).
I'm also aware the Irish taxman is under pressure. Possibly from both sides of this particular fence.
Alex - I was thinking of IR35 and paying yourself a dividend and paying employer NI but still saving overall over PAYE.
I'm no tax expert but every other airline seems to have fairly plain vanilla tax arrangements for pilots. What Brookfield boys do with their limited choice of accountants and what deals are done with the taxman in that scrupulously uncorrupt country are way beyond my understanding.
Its just another aspect which generates the distaste that so many pilots feel.
In my experience the taxman is stamping down on people who set themselves up as self-employed and work for only one company. There's nothing wrong with a limited company doing work for only one company.
Alex, I'm with WWW on this one. I have run my own limited company within the aviation industry for the past 9 years and income from one client is viewed as improper. It is seen as the client evading the costs of employment and the limited company using company tax breaks (what few there are left) to avoid personal income tax. That is certainly the view of a learned Counsel and my company accountants.
Does not affect me as I am on an older one, but if your paying tax and NI in Iraland, what do you tell the UK tax people when they ask why your not paying in the UK and more but are continueing to live there and are based there too?
