Hi all,
Sorry for logging into this forum. I normally log into the wannabe section.
Sighted the tax discussion and thought i would investigate.
I am professional seafarer, currently hour building and thought, you would like an insight into the tax incentive given to seafarers.
The 183 day ruling was brought in as an incentive to keep a British fleet and workforce at sea. Just incase of any future conflicts i.e. similar to the Falklands War. In order to take and man Merchant vessels .
However there's not much of a British seafaring workforce left and the situation is getting worse. So i wouldn't worry about it.
Best Regards
Mike G
