Hi, my husband is a Seafarer and qualifies for Seafarers Tax Exemption from 26.04.2010 to the end of this final trip which will end at the end of this month.
He satisfies all the rules of IR205 and will have a qualfiying period following his return later this month.
This final trip commenced on 20.04.2011 and will end at the end of May beginning of July 2011.
My question is whether this final trip (which commenced 20.04.2011) can be overlapped, i.e. can this be the start point for the next qualifying period? Reason being is that, this trip is of a quite long duration and will ensure he is well in credit for the forthcoming exemption period?
Much appreciated
Thanks
Jacqui
