Benefits, if any of Part 1 registration?

[jimbaerselman]

If, for example, you are cruising the Mediterranean, and decide to spend some time in one place, then after six months (I think)with the SSR, the local authorities can start bleating about local registration. If you have Part 1, they cannot since you are ostensibily on an integral part of Great Britain..... at least that was the status a few years ago..

I think you'll find the type of registration of an EU vessel is not the issue; it's just the presence of the vessel.

EU regs allow EU registered means of transport to stay indefinitely in other EU countries, but the other countries are allowed to impose conditions.

A major condition is that if the owner/user becomes tax resident, the vessel may be required to meet local regulations and pay local taxes. This does not necessarily mean that the boat/car must be re-registered, although that's a convenient way of doing it.

If the means of transport itself stays in another another country longer than 182 day consecutively, conditions also are allowed to be imposed. Often are for cars; could be for boats. Differs country to country. Most countries apply no conditions for long stay boats if they pay standard local lighthouse/coast guard/berthing dues. You can expect the gathering of these dues (pretty slack at the moment) to be more closely policed in the future. Quite a bit of detail about this on the "Time Abroad" page of my web site.

Always maintain an address in the UK and, if possible, stay on the electoral role at a family or friends address.

Thanks, but no thanks

Thanks for the heads-up Chinita, but why would I want a UK address when I have one on the Isle of Man?

thread drift...

It's not that hard. Well, bit harder now as the rules have been tightened up recently. Keep up class 2 nat insurance contributions for state pension.
Also,...
Loose free UK health care,
can't legally have SSR
don't pay any tax on money earned outside uk

You can beat "it" but why bother if you're not earning loads abroad.

Ah, now then. You are the exception which proves the rule.
