Tax man you say

IMHO they shouldn't be sabre rattling but instead working with the Government to provide the year round service the Island needs and make a FAIR profit at peak periods.

the profit line has to be calculated on a yearly basis not just peak periods , if you trim the profits at one period you have to increase at another to compensate

and they need to be able to plan long term , you can not invest multi millions of pounds on replacing boats when you don't have a long enough contract to see a return on your investment

ok they need to do some basic in house customer care thinking and buy boats more suitable to the job to maximise both profit and capacity
