Hi Clear prop!!!
Just a few queries about your post above:
- What training grants are you referring to?
- Which government subsidies are available to airlines for pilot training?
- How can the airlines get a volume discount from something they don't pay for?
- To offset a cost against corporation tax, you need to spend something; if the airlines are not paying for the training, they cannot offset the costs, can they?
- To reclaim VAT, an VAT registered organisation must first have paid the VAT as an input tax. Are the airlines paying VAT; if so, what on? If they are, then the net effect will be nil as thy will reclaim it, so what is the benefit to them?
- What is included in the "etc, etc"?
Not a journalist are you? Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
