What's taxable, what isn't, and which deductions most cabin crew miss. Understand your pay before payroll gets it wrong.
Cabin crew pay is more complex than a standard salary. Per diem, night allowances, and duty pay are all treated differently for tax purposes - and errors on payslips are more common than most crew realise.
In the UK, per diem within HMRC approved rates is tax-free. Above that rate, it's taxable income. Layvr shows you exactly how your per diem is classified each month.
UK cabin crew can claim a flat-rate deduction for uniform cleaning - typically £720/year. Claim back up to 4 years.
Tax code mistakes, wrong per diem rates, and missed allowances are common. Layvr Pro compares your payslip against your roster and flags anything that doesn't add up.
Operating from multiple bases can affect your tax residency and which deductions apply. Crew on Layvr share what they've learned from their own situations.
This is general information only, not tax advice. Tax rules change and vary by individual circumstance. Always consult a qualified tax adviser for your specific situation.
Layvr gives cabin crew a running breakdown of duty pay, per diem, and allowances from their imported roster - so you know what your payslip should say before it arrives. Catch errors before they compound.
