Yacht ownership and operation often come with complex tax and documentation questions—especially when vessels move between countries, change ownership, or are used in different ways (private use, charter, commercial activity). The Taxation service is designed to help you understand what applies to your specific situation and to organise the information needed to stay compliant and avoid unpleasant surprises later. Support typically starts with a review of the vessel’s background (flag, location, ownership structure, intended use, and key documents such as invoices and contracts). From there, you can receive guidance on common topics such as VAT-related considerations, evidence and paperwork that may be required, and how certain decisions (where you buy, where you keep the boat, how you use it) can affect your obligations. This is particularly valuable during a purchase, when preparing for a move to another country, or when you need clarity before signing contracts. The service is practical and document-driven: the goal is to help you ask the right questions, gather the right proofs, and understand the next steps—whether that means preparing a file for authorities, coordinating with your broker/lawyer/accountant, or confirming the correct approach for your cruising plans. Good tax preparation is not about paperwork for its own sake; it’s about protecting the value of the vessel and ensuring you can operate without administrative risk.
