UK HMRC & Cross Border Trips
Hi folks,
Hoping to get some opinion on how other ex-pat guys handle tech-stops/cross boarder trips when transiting the UK and how it affects the SRT.
I'm based down in the ME but regularly stop off in the UK for fuel on the way west. Over this tax year the visits have been in excess of 6 'crossings'. I've read the guidance from HMRC and at odds with my UK accountant who interprets the rules as giving me a tie to the UK. They insist I have to document and declare each crossing - and also have the outbound sector count as a 'work day'.
Typically our tech stops never last more than one hour turnaround.
Trying to see how others have this worked out?
Cheers for any advice..
