 Yacht Owners

Nice to see all us yacht owners get a wee bit of relief :-


British yacht owners with boats moored in the Mediterranean have been thrown a temporary lifeline after the UK government delayed plans to force them to pay a double tax bill on their vessels after Brexit.

Complex customs rules meant owners of boats moored in the EU for at least three years would have to return to UK waters before New Years Day or pay the VAT twice.

However, after the Financial Times contacted HM Revenue & Customs, the government publicly announced it had pushed back the date by which boats would need to return to the UK to avoid paying VAT again to December 31 2021

Have you guys any idea how difficult it is to obtain a berth in the Monte Carlo Marina? There.s a five-year waiting list because most of the berths have been taken by those noisy Russians. They know how to party!

If I have to take my yacht back to the UK, then I will lose my place and that.s just not fair!!!

Please show a little bit of consideration for those of us who have to deal with these challenging issues every day.

And don.t forget to vote Tory.

The Government has just announced that this does not effect all the Brummie.s and Scousers who won a speed boat on bullseye

A few points:

If your accountant hasn't found out how you are exempt from this or can't somehow offset it against your earnings then you should feed him to the hounds immediately.

If there really is no tax deduction here then simply set up an off shore Ltd company similar to what your accountant has done in the past and market yourself as a provider of PPE. This should entitle you to a Government contract of X millions which should hopefully cover the VAT payment and leave a tidy profit.

If neither of those options work simply pay the VAT from loose change down the back of your sofa. Administrative burdens such as these are for peasants to be concerned about. Why waste days moving boats when there are Russian hookers to be partying with?
