About Us
Specialist accountants for a life spent at sea
Seafarers Tax was founded on a simple idea: people who work at sea and offshore deserve advisers who genuinely understand their world.
Maritime and offshore careers create tax and accounting questions that most high-street accountants rarely see — qualifying periods, vessel status, split residency, foreign earnings and cross-border payroll.
We focus exclusively on those issues.
Built around the realities of working offshore
We provide specialist tax, accounting and payroll support for seafarers, offshore professionals and the businesses that employ them.
From a single Self Assessment return with a Seafarers' Earnings Deduction claim, to full company accounts, to compliant payroll for a crewing agency, our work is shaped entirely around maritime and offshore careers.
The details that others miss
Offshore and seafaring work rarely fits standard tax rules. A few days ashore at the wrong time, a vessel that doesn't meet the “ship” definition, or duties performed in UK waters can change your position significantly.
Because this is all we do, we know where the risks and the opportunities are — and we make sure nothing is left on the table or exposed to unnecessary challenge.
