Case Study 1
​
Mr Jones has worked for ABC Shipping for 3 years. Having been paid gross with no tax deducted, he was worried when HMRC contacted him regarding self assessment income tax returns. He was looking at a tax liability of circa £21,000 plus interest and penalties etc. for non submission of tax returns. He turned to us, we checked his dates in and out of the UK and found that he had an SED claim against all of his time with ABC Shipping. Therefore, we submitted the outstanding tax returns, including the SED claims, to show no UK income tax liability. We were, in this case, able to argue that as no tax returns had been issued he was not liable for penalties for non submission. This was agreed by HMRC and Mr Jones is now free of tax liability.
Case Study 2
​
Miss Smith had been using an accountant to prepare and submit her tax returns. Sadly, the accountant was not a seafaring specialist and had only been literally claiming a portion of her income from her employer as tax free relevant to the number of days she had been out of the UK on Vessels. She dropped us a quick email when a colleague told her that we had secured a full UK tax refund for him. Miss Smith was very pleased that we could check over her dates, amend her last four tax returns and claim back the rest of her hard earned money back that she was entitled to. Miss Smith has vowed to remain with us.
