In a word, no.

I don't think there is any sales tax in the USA on flight training but even if there was, you couldn't reclaim it in this country.

Please read the previous 90-odd posts!

VAT on training courses
 
Hi,

I am planning to start a type rating in June, which is subject to VAT. :eek:

I am irish, and will be unemployed during the training. My qestion is this:

Is there any way for someone in my position to to be VAT exempt?

I've been to a financial advisor but they don't know.:ugh:

Thanks

Re-Heat 1st May 2007 11:03

In which country is the training?

If in the UK, not a chance in hell of reclaiming VAT, not to mention that you won't be unemployed either, as you are not available for employment and are undergoing an training course of your own volition.


Can the cost of professional training be offset against your income tax when you start working as a pilot?
Not at all unfortunately.

Interestingly enough I interviewed with an airline in Ireland and they wanted me to part with some of my hard earned for a type rating. They were of the opinion that an element of it was reclaimable. I never looked into it but when in doubt get some good tax advice.

NetJets Cadets
 
Hi

I understand from OAT and NJE that the pre-employment job offer from NetJets does qualify for income tax relief on the repayment of the loan from GROSS salary rather than NET.

Cheers.

It's not a financial advisor you need but a Chartered Accountant. Financial Advisors tend to deal with pensions and investments and are regulated by a different body.

If you are doing the type rating in a country different to the one in which you will be employed, then no chance.

Cheers

Yes, it may do so if part of a company scheme, but all deductions from income tax are calculated form gross salary anyway!

Ok - the starting salary is €56,500.

€20,000 is paid directly to the bank by NJE.

€36,500 is paid to you through the usual PAYE scheme and taxed as usual.

Essentially the €20,000 is earned tax-free but goes direct to the bank.

I see what you mean now - I think that goes back to the BALPA argument posted earlier about inconsistent rule application by HMRC.

hollingworthp 1st May 2007 18:36

Indeed - it doesn't seem to be clear and it has been indicated that this 'loophole' (for want of a better word) may not last for ever.

Tax Back
 
Hi All,

Can you get tax back on your training in the UK?


Thanks

ATPLWhoops

Whirlygig 3rd May 2007 18:34

No.

I would dress it up a little but this question does get asked quite frequently and there are many threads on the subject. Please have a run down the list of threads on his forum.

It is possible to get VAT back if you are self-employed after your training but, as far as I know, not income tax.

Cheers
