Sarah-It surely doesnt matter if its on a public forum or not. Brown & Co have known about it for years, thats why they are bringing in new legislation. I dont think by keeping it shtum now will help keep it. I thought that if I wanted to find out more about a subject then I would post it here and see if any of my fellow pilots had any knowledge on the matter. I may have contacted a tax adviser who had no experience of pilots living abroad, he may then have fed me a load of cods wallop.
Next time you have a question by all means post it on pprune and use the experience of the many that use it.
