Can anyone help explain SEAFARERS tax???
Hi all
I really need some help, my family are in the early stages of moving to OZ but we are having problems with a particular question and we're chasing our tails through different web sites.
Q. My husband is an Officer in the Merchant Navy and because at the moment we live in the UK we do not pay tax on his wages, this is because he works out of the country for more than 183 days a year, and we get full tax relief, does anyone out there know the rules that would apply to his income when we eventually reach OZ as he will still be working for the same company and be away for the same time
I'll be very grateful for any help finding this information.
Thnx in advance
