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....
