AvMar Payroll Services

AvMar specializes in crew leasing and payroll processing for both US and foreign flagged vessels. Our crew leasing structure in the Isle of Man and administrative offices located in Ft. Lauderdale can be of tremendous value to yacht managers, owners, captains and crew.

US flagged vessels with US crew must contend with payroll taxes, including quarterly and yearly tax filings. Needless to say, dealing with such reports and the IRS and State of Florida can be complex and time consuming. AvMar can relieve yacht owners and managers of this stress by handling it all from our Ft. Lauderdale office.

The complexities of foreign flagged vessels, on the other hand, can be even more daunting. US Immigration laws require that foreign crew in the United States on a B1/B2 visa are required to be paid from sources outside the US. This can present a problem for US owners of foreign flagged vessels. Utilizing our affiliate office in Europe can alleviate such problems, as there are no reporting regulations in the Isle of Man.
