Offshore Workers
These rebates are for you!
Average offshore tax refund can be around £2,800. Offshore workers can claim a rebate under HMRC's 'temporary workplaces' rule if the trips had been made within the previous 24 months. This includes travel to and from airports and heliports, and additionally other work related expenses such as your gear, uniforms and additional tools & equipment.
