Description
Lunchtime Lecture No.08
Monday 16th December 2019 - 12pm
Topic: Managing the Risks of Superyacht Ownership
Speaker: Dan Armsden - AYM Consulting
Presentation summary:
During this lecture attendees will gain an understanding of the risk areas of yacht ownership that need to be considered and mitigated. Although more risks are associated with owning a commercial yacht, pleasure yachts still bring their own inherent risks. Incorrectly advised crew and managers can open up an expensive VAT liability on the hull by not fully understanding the limitations of the VAT structure the yacht may be operating within. Do you truly know the backgrounds of the crew who are employed to work and live onboard the yacht with other crew, guests and their children? There are ways to mitigate these risks which will be discussed during the presentation and followed by a short Q&A session.
