Floating Captain does 900 hours a year and earns about 150,000 euro's. He or she can put all sorts of things against tax so pays probably less than 20% tax.
I normally do 900 hours a year and earn about £85,000 and pay 40% tax. I don't live where I am based so I have to pay for travel and accomodation anyway and can't even claim tax off for that. Thats why I have given it some serious thought, the main thing that has stopped me is the changing contracts for Brookfield.
