Do You Work On Board Ship?

If you do and your journey begins or ends outside of the UK then you may be able to get your salary paid tax free.

Of course there are some requirements that have to be met - for example a "one off" trip is unlikely to qualify as the period under review has to be for 365 days or more.

The main requirements are that any intervening visits to the UK must not exceed one half of the total period when reveiwed at the date of each return to the UK and no individual visit to the UK can exceed 183 days.

Unfortunately, if you work in the UK sector of the North Sea you are regarded as performing all your duties in the UK and you do not qualify for the relief.
