I work through an agency, who deducts tax from my earnings. I work at sea, outside of the UK all the time. Can I get the Zero Tax Banding ?

Yes, if they can be considered your employer. They will need to provide you with a payslip or P60
showing an employers reference number.

If it is a new position and you have less than three rotations, or none at all, follow the steps to get your tax back every month and submit the forecast form through our portal. You must have a twelve month employment contract with the agency or six months sea time to submit the forecast form.

If you don’t have a contract of employment for twelve months but have reached the qualifying
period of working outside of the UK for 182.5 days out of 365 follow the steps to Claim Your Tax
Back for The Year.
