So after forking out nearly ?200 to have someone fill a form out for me last year I figured as I had that one to follow doing my own tax return would be a doddle. Of course the online form would follow the format of the paper form.... wouldn't it?
I've got all my figures organised on a nice spreadsheet, and have found all the places to put those figures into the form, but for the life of me, I cannot find the damn box I need to tick that says I am claiming seafarers Foreign Earning Deductions.... I've filled out the "Employment" section, and the "Foreign Earnings" section, with exactly the same information, only to be told that on the basis of what I put on the form I don't need to fill out the Foreign section.. and at the calculation bit at the end it tells me I have to pay ?8k! I'm so very very fed up with this HMRC website and may have to resort to doing it on paper, but I really want to get this figured out so I can do it easily every year.
I have googled but there appears to be no youtube tutorial on this yet
