Re: OFFSHORE WORKERS LIVING IN SPAIN

Cheers everyone, I've done a rough calculation, seems to be approx a third of your earnings in tax - only slightly more than the UK! Better than what I was expecting....mind you, I'm hardly Carol...

Re: OFFSHORE WORKERS LIVING IN SPAIN

Is there a...

Re: OFFSHORE WORKERS LIVING IN SPAIN

Thank you Horlics,

So in our situation (with me working a 2 weeks on/3weeks off rota), does that mean I'd pay Spanish tax, and if so, how much is it?

Cheers

Re: Abu Dhabi move, Al Hosn gas and girlfriend

We've been told a new allowance, maybe two, are due! This could be true as they've amended our terms. It's decent enough, the amount depends on your grade. Then there should be a H2s allowance when...

Re: Abu Dhabi move, Al Hosn gas and girlfriend

Re: Abu Dhabi move, Al Hosn gas and girlfriend

Hey mate,

The leave is, quite frankly, impossible to work out! So I'll give you a few examples:

You take one shift off = 1 days leave
You take two consecutive shifts off = 2 days leave
