Now with storm and the accountants your forced to use you have to pay soc security tax as employers and employees so in theory countries will get their tax take regardless.

You are probably aware, but to highlight for other followers of this thread. It's a EU directive which mandates that for aircrew you should be socially insured in the country where you are based. It hasn't really got anything to do with which accountant you use.


Unless things have changed with these Ltd. co set-up Ireland gets the vast majority of pilot's income tax. The social security is a tax that's levied on the employer (plus in some countries, a employee share). You could say that if you live and work in a continental Ryanair base, that country should receive income tax + social security, not either or.


If fr were forced to make everyone employed, i can only envisage how bad those t+c will be....and they would get away with it as they always do...

I think that's a fallacy. The T+C are that bad already. They fool new-joiners by saying you earn €75 psbh. What they don't tell you is that what your Company earns is supposed to cover the social security payments + a salary (to you, on which income tax will be deducted).
