Tax Relief On Conversions
I know there have been a few posts regarding tax relief before, but I think this new situation is a bit different! Background: I'm an FAA qualified commercial pilot currently working in the UK on N-reg, who pretty soon will have to convert to JAA because of the latest wisdom to come across the channel.
As far as I can gather normally no tax relief is granted on flight training, and this is because it is normally not 'work related training' i.e. you are not working as a pilot yet so its not work related. I am working however, and EASA is now forcing me to do the conversions, so I think there is a case for claiming the costs back as work related training.
Does anyone who knows more about tax than me have any advice on this, or has anyone tested this out before?
