Mil to Civvy Pilot Tax-Hacks!!
Hello all, I've done a quick search without much luck, especially current info! Thought this may benefit either those leaving the Service or just having a change of circumstance in the near future...
I'm transitioning from Mil flying career at pension point to a Civvy airline. This years tax return will be rather complicated! What with the potential for 2 lots of pay for a short time only obviously (and all above board), a lump-sum (albeit tax free) and a pension kicking in. I was wondering if anyone had any useful advice, experiences, contacts (accountants etc) that could be useful? I'm thinking that a couple of hundred quid thrown at an accountant may actually be worthwhile as I'd hope with such a complicated financial year they'd at least save me their fee's-worth in tax? Any advice, info or banter will be greatly received. |
£2-300 is fair if not too complicated and probably worthwhile. Mine charges £40ph.

Hang on to your P45/60.
Don't worry about the gratuity, it's not included in any of the calculations. Make sure your pension has the correct tax code ( taxed at 40%) and your new main income tax code is also correct. ( this can take ages to sort.) Be aware that if your gross earnings top £100k for the year your tax free allowance is gradually withdrawn. This means between £100k and ~ £118k you are taxed at something like 60%! Either way, my advice would be to just do a selfie tax return but keep a slush fund hady to pay the inevitable bill. |
Well who'd of thought it, two mid west record promoters of Tap on the same forum!

Small world, but in retrospect, your spelling is the correct one. No copyright infringement intended!
