Page 1 – Total 2018 Expenses
On Page 1 we would like you to enter the total financial expenses you incurred during 2018 for the
operation and keeping of your vessel with the registration number listed at the top of the page. This
should correspond to actual dollar payments made. For each question enter the sum of all 2018
expenses in that category. If you had NO expenses in a category, please enter “0” and do not leave
any spaces blank.


Please be comprehensive: Account for all the expenses incurred by this boat in 2018 on Page 1.



Please avoid double counting: Any expense should appear only a single time on Page 1.



If an expense benefits this vessel as well as other vessel(s) or business operations (such as
processing), only list the share of the expense that can be assigned to this vessel.



Feel free to round numbers to the nearest $100, such as entering $ 3,600.00 rather than $ 3,643.00.

Question 1: Check the YES box, if you (the owner) also act as captain for this vessel (always or
most of the time). Check the NO box if you hired captain(s) to operate this vessel.
Question 2: If you checked NO on Question 1, check the N/A (not applicable) box. Check the YES
box, if you separately account for your income as captain (as opposed to as owner, i.e. business
profit). If you checked Yes, enter the total amount you paid yourself on the following line. If you do
not pay yourself a captain’s share, simply check the NO box and continue with Question 3.
Question 3: Enter the sum of all hired crew and captains’ shares paid during 2018. This should
reflect the amount the crew and captain(s) actually received, including any bonuses, but excluding any
contributions she/he made to cover operating costs. DO NOT include amounts paid to the owner!
Question 4: Enter the total amount spent on fuel in 2018. The total amount should reflect the actual
amount paid for the fuel used by this vessel, including those portions “paid” out of the crew’s or
captain’s shares.

2018 (in dollars and cents per gallon).
b) Enter the total number of gallons of fuel you purchased in 2018 in order to operate
this vessel and all its equipment (such as generators and freezers). If this number is not available, then
divide the amount entered in Question 4 by the estimated price per gallon entered in a) and enter this
amount in the space provided.
Question 6: Enter the sum of all remaining expenses incurred on a ‘per fishing trip’ basis in 2018.
This should exclude all amounts already listed in the above questions, i.e. amounts paid to crew,
captain or fuel. Please sum all your expenses for: ice, groceries, oil and lubricants, freezing and
packaging supplies, gloves, processing, storage, cleaning supplies or services, and any other trip
related expense.

haul-outs, repairs during haul-outs, and other major repairs or replacement; or unusual expenses
resulting from unexpected events such as hurricanes, accidents or theft. Check “New purchase or
upgrade” if you spent money on the vessel that extends its functionality, such as increases in engine
power, new electronic systems, increases or improvements to fishing gear, etc.

total amount, not just the monthly insurance premium.

included in Questions 1 through 9). Very Important on Question 10:

Insurance premiums for the vessel
Depreciation
