south coast, I am sure our friend biz paid tax like all good people but he was in the favourable position that he paid tax in France where you only pay around 5% to 10% income tax as a pilot because you make your money outside the country.

If we all had a UK contract we could reclaim part of the taxes that we pay because we do not fly in UK-airspace every day that we are on duty. That would be a fair deal. This flat-tax in Portugal seems to be a bit dodge, to be honest, because still some countries do NOT recognize this tax. Well, all this has been written already in this forum, I don't want to repeat it all again.
