UK Residents:
AMGL can deal with your PAYE and National Insurance contributions. As a contractor you are classed as the employee of AMGL, but you are able to gain professional independence with all the benefits of being an employee.
As a contractor you will not be employed by the recruitment agency or end client.  They want the comfort of the knowledge that your taxes are being correctly accounted for so there is no retrospective demand made against themselves. This is where AMGL comes in and will engage with the recruiter or end client under a business-to-business contract. AMGL is well established in the industry and has been approved by many businesses as a Payroll Company they to deal with.

If you are a self-employed seafarer then normally you will not be able to claim the Seafarers Earnings Deduction.
But if you are employed through AMGL as an employee you will have employment status which will enable you to fulfil the HMRC requirements and make a claim for a tax refund through the HMRC’s SED application form.
