I find the double standards of HRMC hard to swallow on the one hand they are now saying its not about residency now ie Isle of Man pilot flying return trip to and from his place of residency back to his home base is now liable to Uk tax because he has dipped in and out of Uk airpsace for only a few hours and mostly not even stepped of his aircraft unless its for a walkaround.
On the other hand they are now telling private jet owners they will be taxed not on where the aircraft is registerd ie Cayman but based on where the owner is resident ??
You can't have it both ways people.....
The tax policies are all over the place in thier desperation to plug the deficits,its preposterous !!!!!
Not only that,where does it end-does it therefore mean all aircrew working abroad ie Easyjet or Ryanair pilots based in Rome or Paris will be liable to taxation in both countries because they are working for a UK company,sounds like a perfect way to strangulate the aviation business if you ask me ?
