vulva Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 What footballers do now is almost irrelevant. The genie is out of the bottle. Since day 1, the only noise coming out of the game has been when they can start playing again. And we all know that is to protect revenue. I would laugh my knackers off if Sky went bust, and the game followed it leaving all these big shot owners millions out of pocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every business has been the same. Why would you think football would any different? Especially if the alternative is the thing you’re craving.

They all have management companies set up to reduce their tax. if Jordan Rhodes is paying £16,000 a week tax on his £40,000 then I stand corrected but I just cannot see it.H Harry Kane on £12m a season salary has he paid £5m in tax this year. They do have limited companies for the personal image rights - but HMRC have been all over this recently where this has been deemed excessive element of regular pay They have also been investigating the agents. I suspect there will be a sting in the tail for the EPL once normality returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question of image rights is paramount, it is perfectly legit to set up a company to do that, they are personal after all. What HMRC are doing is contesting the worth of that compared to regular salary. Even if the player is from overseas they will invoke other legislation. The sting in the tail if the Govt choose. Wack up employers NI to 30%, increase top rates of tax to 75% levy on transfer fees or TV subscription fees. Probably overlooked but the Digital Sales Tax starts today so even hi tech entrants for EPL rights could be hit. I think a Govt could get its revenge if it was so minded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are all sat home as we speak paying to watch all the other stuff other than sport they offer. Not a lot though, only 13 entertainment channels which aren't free to air otherwise. Catch up plays only a fraction of the free to air streaming of other providers. Again, they charge more for on demand which plays slightly more, but not all other providers free to air content. Movies ok for a short time, but soon get bored of endless repeats. Their business is built around sport, of which there is none at the moment.
