Do You Qualify For The Seafarer Allowance?
If you’re an Irish Seafarer working in roles like diving, marine engineering, rigging, or serving as a ship’s officer, it’s crucial to understand the Irish regulations. This applies not only to those working abroad but particularly to individuals in industries such as Oil and Gas, those working on Cruise Ships and Super-yachts, and in the Merchant Marine.
To qualify for the Seafarer Allowance, individuals must meet specific criteria, including being at sea on a voyage to or from a foreign port for a minimum of 161 days in the tax year. This provision extends to those working on vessels servicing drilling rigs, entitling them to a tax allowance of €6,350. Seeking advice from tax professionals can offer personalised insights into the application of the Seafarer Allowance to your specific situation. Additionally, we can assist you in achieving tax compliance and navigating the tax return process for property acquisition.
