Services
Seatax have worked closely with the Inland Revenue since 1979 to ensure that our clients do not fall foul of the complex rules surrounding the Seafarers Earnings Deduction. We monitor any new seafarer tax rulings or legislative changes and take action, where appropriate, on your account. Our extensive experience means we know how to bring your tax affairs in order to give you the best result, and keep them that way.
Sea tax was started when it was realised that, since the introduction of the 1977 Finance Act, the tax position of British Merchant Seamen became somewhat more complicated. Because of the nature of the tax laws, as they apply to Seafarers, extra allowances are earned for the fact of having to work outside the UK.
Tax advice services and preparation service, including advice and completion on all H M Revenue & Customs forms which you may receive including Self-Assessment. There may be additional charges for involved cases. Basically what happens is, on enrolment with Seatax, you authorise us to act on your behalf with regard to all income tax matters.
More than ever, specialised tax services for yacht crews are necessary to help yacht personal avoid getting into a situation where they will be liable to income tax in two countries. Many members of the yachting industry have been operating for years not declaring income to any government tax body on the assumption that they do not reside in any particular country.

Report
I am employed by one of the big cruise lines, and first used Seatax back in 1994. Unfortunately the number of basic errors on my recent tax return would have cost me an additional £300 had I not made my own calculations. I was refunded my fee following my complaint, which I did not feel was managed competently. I have been advised by colleagues that the original Seatax team split and set up another tax advisor company in Doncaster (which they have recommended), and may explain the decline in Seatax attention to detail and service levels.
