Tax
How is it, that with the PFA Coaching scheme the Inland Revenue has granted that monies payed to the coach is to be deemed expenses and thus non taxable?
A PFA Coach who could be a PPL and not legally able to receive renumberation recieves (I think) £20 per flight. The Coach could organise 4 flights a day receiving £80 tax free!
I know the intention is to cover costs and the average Coach will only fly once a week, but thats not the point.
I examine whenever I am required. I don't do as much as I would like; but every year I have to submit a tax return as a self employed person.
Its not fair to instructors who earn a small salary after large training costs to get their qualifications.
