“The tax, I have read mixed opinions on this and i know the most reliable advice for this is to seek a professional, but just want an idea of how people work it to their advantage and any tax advisors they would recommend in NL or UK:- I have read that its paid in the country you spend most of the time in, but as a LH crew member how do you keep track of this as every few days its a different place or in the air?”
I would not assume that’s correct, regardless of time in/out of countries various you can actually end up paying at least some of your social charges, especially those related to employment (e.g. UK National Insurance) in the country where you are based, and some taxes, including income tax, in both the country where you are based (e.g. UK) and also your country of residence- that’s something where you do need to take a professional’s advice, at least initially.
As for keeping track of events - yes it means a lot of bookeeping but there are individuals/companies around that can help out with that.
There was (is?) for example a pilot at BA who produced an app that read your achieved rosters and worked out all the relevant percentages.
