Tax law
It makes me cringe when these people talk about off shore accounts and not paying tax etc. It is illegal to live and work in the uk and not pay tax. End of story. No arrangement between the airline industry and the IRS. If do not pay you are breaking the law and they will find you eventually. Remember also it wont be a case of we want you to start paying now they will want the last five years worth. I know all the stories about Brookfields setting up Camen Island accounts for you but its not their problem (at the moment). I say at the moment because there is a tax law that states that if you work through an agent for a single client i.e. Ryanair then it is the responsibility of the agent to collect your tax.
Before anyone asks I don’t know how it works in other countries but the norm is you pay the taxes of the country where you normally reside.

RTO - am very interested in who you work for and can you share with us roughly what your F/O's take home (obviously based on a rough average) skippers too perhaps? We actually believe we are well paid here (generally speaking) and hence many of the contented guys stay a good while. PM me if you prefer but AM very interested in this!

Ryanair salary confusion
Well guys your not helping me with my 'should i stay or should i go' descision.
I am very surprised at the total lack of clarity and/or confusion regarding ryanair salaries,it is putting me off a little.
I really would like to work on the 737-800 and the steady roster and no nightstops really appeals.
The decieving advertising of £100k for captains is obviously a ploy to get you interested.......a shame really......

LegsUpLucy,
I already told you my basic gross, of course you can add the Flight Expenses which is another 20.000 to 25.000 pounds tax free (At least so I was told)
I received my contract last month.
I want to know from the insiders if this is a lower than normal salary for new-joiners

Contract captains, paying full and correct taxes in the UK, get similar/less take home pay to a full time SFO..........
Break the law, get paid well; stay withing the law, get paid pitance... Makes you wonder why so many guys fancy the contracting work Or would I just be a wimp for not wanting to take a gamble with tax dodging???

Not a wimp in my book FlyingSand. As sikeano mentioned if you get sick or retire you are persona non grata. You have no National Insurance records. Frankly why should us tax paying citizens pay for some high earning free loaders. The average wage in the uk £20k. So pilots earning £70, £80k are not going to get much simpathy. There was a guy a couple of years ago caught for tax evasion (German IT consultant). They estimated his back tax, nat ins etc over the last 5 years to be £200k. This plus a fine and costs of £10k plus 30 days at her majesty's pleasure was all enforced even though he had returned to his home country.
