Specialist Maritime Advice
Your work isn't ordinary. Your tax advice shouldn't be either.
Working offshore or at sea rarely fits neatly into standard tax rules.
Where your vessel operates, how long you spend outside the UK, where you are resident, who employs you and even the type of vessel or installation you work on can affect your tax position.
We specialise in the issues that arise when your career takes you across borders.
Specialist advice built around the realities of working at sea.

Could your earnings from working at sea qualify for UK tax relief?
For qualifying seafarers, the Seafarers' Earnings Deduction can provide significant UK income tax relief.
Qualification isn't simply a question of spending 183 days outside the UK. Voyage dates, qualifying periods, vessel status, time spent in the UK and the location of your duties can all matter.
