Confused…!

Hi forum

Maybe a silly question ref. the 183 days rule but….

I have worked 182 days out of the UK this year but have 25 days in hand on my IR205 which has been running for 3 years. Do I still qualify for SED?

Thanks
NC

Hi NC
No idea what an IR205 is, but maybe my response will prompt more replies that may be of use to you.

There is also an App on iTunes that might help you out.
I can’t add a link as our anti spam security breaks the link.

Go to iTunes and search out:
The Seafarer’s Earnings Deduction (seafarer’s tax) eligibility calculator

Nothing to do with me, but I know a few people use the app quite successfully. I’ve been advised (by my boss 😉 ) that one of the guys involved in developing the app was an ROV peep 🙂

Once you have passed your initial 183 qualifying period, as long as you continue to qualify each time you re-enter the country then it is not a problem (as far as I understand it), you just keep on going, you dont have to do the 183 days every tax year.

IR205 is the explanation and calculation sheet from HMRC for Seafarers Tax.

I was hoping this was the case. Thank you for all your replies.
