Australian Based Pilots working at Atlas

[Gnadenburg]

Your tax position can be comfortably different to the next bloke doing the same job abroad. Residency is elaborate and couch surfing stateside may be high risk if commuting. A number of Hong Kong pilots were prosecuted. A number probably not caught. Most followed the tax rules as best they could. Our tax system is a self-declaration don’t forget.

Confident and cocky now, one thing is certain, a number of Australian pilots will eventually be heavily fined for not declaring foreign sourced income as Stateside pilots. Don’t get your tax advice from H&R Block and the Flight Deck!
