Tonnage Tax 2001 a complete exposé......Part I


Tonnage Tax 2001 a complete exposé......Part I

ITCC's approach to Tonnage Tax was to basically try and avoid, for as long as possible, issuing seafarers with German contracts.  In certain (numerous) cases, usually where an officer was an EU national/resident and would either refuse a German contract or the shipowning company thought that issuing one would cost way too much (with the higher level of salary demanded PLUS higher tax and social security contributions). attract, false contracts were issued in the name of non-european seafarers whose details were in the Briese/Leda database but were not currently employed on another vessel.

It was a full time job for more than one person to try and record who was really working on which vessel.
ITCC could not afford to declare that Captain Cheremsky was master on "Alta Mar" if he was in fact employed as a Captain by another company under a German contract.

Here are schedules for 2001 for the "Alta Mar" (simple and for only 2 months) and the "Ditzum" (more complex and for the whole year).








The rest of 2001...to follow....
