Go speak to an accountant, preferably one who has knowledge of the environment in which we work. I believe Brookfield can recommend a firm either the S.E. or Ireland (however like all things FR related, they probably have a cut or finders fee attached to this
) Balpa also produce a tax document for airline pilots, so it may be worth seeing if you can get hold of this?? Also setting yourself up as either a sole trader or PLC will enable you to claim back tax on nesscessaries that are required to do your job. Again, to be certain of these, speak to an accountant. Investing a little in this now may save you a lot in the future.
