TTM02010 - Tonnage tax elections: Pre-election clearance
Clearance application before initial election
HMRC offers a non-statutory business clearance procedure. Full guidance can be found in the Other Non Statutory Business Clearance Guidance manual (ONSCG). The guidance that follows here does not replace that guidance.
This clearance procedure is available to enable any company or group interested in tonnage tax to discuss its own circumstances with HMRC in advance of making the initial election.
Examples of companies that might find this procedure useful include:
an existing UK company or group considering diversification into shipping,
a company or group considering starting up a new shipping business in the UK, and
an overseas shipping company or group considering expanding its operations to the UK.
