TAX REFUND FOR SAILORS ON GERMAN PAYROLL

tax refund for sailors on german registered ships icon

If you’re sailing on a ship and being paid through a German company, we can review your tax circumstances and check if you are due a German tax refund.

Expenses for professional education and renewal of sailing related certificates can also be claimed so it’s well worth checking what you’re owed.

If you’re not being taxed correctly and you’re an EU / EEA Resident, we can amend how you are taxed and apply for a higher tax-free allowance when we submit your annual tax return.
