Tax in Danish Sector
Hi all - i want to pick your brains about Danish tax offshore.
I run as a UK Ltd Co. - i am a UK resident.
I have been offered a short contract for a UK ROV operator, (for a vessel based, ROV job offshore Denmark - they will be sub contracted to another company), and wondered what the possible tax implications are for me and my company, (ie. income tax and corporation tax).
The last time i worked out there it was on a wind farm job, and as such, it didn't incur the full force of the Danish tax system.
Do companies still give a 10% uplift as per Norway to cover any extra tax liability?
I know there is a dual taxation agreement between UK and Denmark, but it may as well be written in a foreign language for all the sense i can make of it.
I have been in touch with HMRC but their reply could take a week - job may be gone by then.
So, any thoughts would be welcomed, so i can make my mind up to go or wait for another job.
Thanks in advance.

What path should I follow?

| Hi Antonioc,
If I was you I would go for the Sonardyne opportunity. It may be a very, very long time before the industry recovers and there are alot of guys all going for the same rov jobs. And before anyone says it Im not after his job by getting him to leave, I still have one... 
Im looking to leave the ROV industry after being in it for only 8 yrs and working onshore in an electrical capacity. There are alot of other jobs out there not ROV related that are fantastic opportunities (offshore as well as onshore). As long as you have the qualifications of course! 
If and when the industry picks up again you could always choose to get back into it but the companies are just as quick to drop all of us, as has happened to many this year. Either way, its your decision and good luck in making your choice!!! Cheers Des |
Hi Antonioc,
Des_b has a good point and I have the chestnut to put out again..... "Never carry all your eggs in one basket"..... Essentially, be diversified.

IMAGENEX SONAR PRODUCT
Hi!
I have a IMAGENEX 881A on my Falcon ROV, obviously it is fitted vertically.
I would like to know if i can fix it horizontally in a tow fish and use it as a side scan sonar for a large scale bottom survey?
Any idea?
Thank
Wawaron

New Zealand - Anybody working here at the mo?
Is anybody working in New Zealand at the mo? What are the rates like for a senior pilot/supervisor here? Or I could even be a PT - no egos here I only like to do my hitch and go home!
So if you want someone, or know a company who has room for a punter with good experience on their team please drop me a line.
I am getting a little tired of the permanent jetlag from working abroad. I guess this might be a good place to put feelers out instead of sending my CV to a bunch of companies.
Hey and if you are working for someone and are unhappy here in NZ please share your experiences.

Well its a contract from Guernsey if that counts. The agency works from the UK.
I am making enquiries with lawyers in the UK but will not mention any names right now.
I have been advised and fully believe that the insurance company wont pay until they are forced too. The fact that the contract says the company will pay and doesn't mention waiting for an insurance company annoys me to say the least! The company is not interested at all.

A Guernsey Lawyer will be more aware of the contract you were employed under as your agent did not work it out themselves they have used legal representatives to design your contract and it terms.
A lawyer wrote your contract who is aware of contract law and it terms.
Not so many lawyers dealing with Guernsey law in UK as its different from our laws there is special terms in labour contracts not only taxes which is why offshore workers and seaman and other worldwide workers from UK get contracts from there.
A UK law firm with offices in Guernsey would be also fine to use but I would not use a lawyer in UK without an actual office there.
As the work is going to have to be done there in Guernsey.

I like the sound of these. It's one of the old SUBSERVPRO guys. They are promising to give us the workers a bigger piece of the cash. No more haggling, no more " what rate do you want". I hope they take off in a big way as some of the agency's at the moment are right royally taking the piss with some of the rates they are trying to get away with.
It may be quiet and there maybe loads of people sat at home but they are still wanting your experience and time for loads less money!!
I hope more of these bandits go under as they are doing nothing for the rates of the experienced guys.
And just another one to throw out their, Are the training schools still taking money off guys and promising them they will get a job?
Rant over, I'm off back to put the kettle on.

ROV ET course in Singapore-www.deepseatechserv.com
Until the current recession finishes there is very little point in doing any extra training unless you can guarantee employment after your course .
There are thousands of experienced Rov personnel with 10 - 15 years in the industry and they are unable to find employment so a trainee has got little chance with or without any extra certs plus its Not a mandatory requirement to gain employment into the Rov industry .
Getting your survival course and medical is a mandatory requirement as for when this current recession will end until the price of oil is over $75 USD which I think will be March / April next year even then don't expect a flood of trainee requirements .

HI Liddelljohn, you can double the 5K at least unfortunately so I am not too happy and would much rather have it in my bank balance than theirs!
Thanks deepseacon for your advice about the Geurnsey lawyers. I will throw some feelers out in that direction and see what response I get.

Companies That Will Recruit And Train Their ROV Pilots/Tecs
This original topic was started back in 2012 when the price of oil was well over $100 USD then there were many projects on the go .However this is 2015 and the current price has dropped to just over $62 USD and the amount of sub sea projects is very little , Most of the requirements so far this year have been for work class personnel with experience on Perry , FMC or SMD vehicles , When I say experience your need well over 1000 flying hours under your belt.
As for inspection vehicles there are a few jobs but not very many and the jobs that are under way there using there own staff . All company's are trying to cut cost were they can from using more locals to cutting down on the size of crews .
As far as rates go they seem to have gone into free fall due to the agency's all fighting for the same work .
