Revenue helps fishermen.
The Inland Revenue has launched special savings scheme for ‘share’ fishermen in England and Wales to help ensure they have enough money to pay their tax bills. Fishermen have been given the option of having money deducted from their earnings and paid directly into a special interest bearing account. Barry Deas, of the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations, said: ‘Because fishermen are away at sea it is difficult for them to contact the Revenue and it is often their families that have to speak to the taxman.’
