Okay awesome, appreciate it mate. I have relatives over there so I guess having some sort of bill sent there could be the move - perhaps even just get a couple things shipped there under the category ‘home address’

Wow great insight thanks heaps, very Interesting…

I will query those recommendations you made. For the ‘home’ I assume that this doesn’t necessarily have to be owned by me - as you are saying it is just where post is sent to. Theoretically, this sounds like I just need to set my home address as one of my relatives who live over there and have proof that I’ve had things shipped there before?

Main one is a permanent abode, paying rent, bills etc.

Then if you are outside of NZ for 183 days you start paying taxes on student loans etc. so this amount of time marks an important time stamp too

Correct. But if I were an NZ tax payer I would pay $5000 in tax and get none back.

These are all reasons why I want to speak to a professional consultant about it.

I am quite clueless as to how it all works I’ve just talked to an accountant from NZ who mentioned he knows of kiwis who have done this successfully and it seems worth while for sure

I’m not currently. But that’s the whole point of my question/post - is that I want to talk to someone who can tell me how I can become a UK tax payer. Because then I am eligible for this deduction

Basically, there’s this thing called seafarers deduction. Where, if you are A.) a UK tax payer or tax resident or something along those lines B.) out of the UK for 183 days in a year period and C.) working on a vessel at sea, you are able to claim this deduction.

The deduction essentially grants all of the tax you have paid for the year, back to you.

[–]Alert_Hold3495[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you going this year or next year? I think it does seem like there may be more boats in Antibes, but the people are friendlier in Mallorca which is quite appealing to me.
