CLOSURE OF IMAGE RIGHTS LOOPHOLE COULD COST £100M

televizyon

September 28, 2010

Top footballers in England could lose a combined £100 million to taxes if a loophole involving their image rights is closed, West Ham co-owner David Sullivan revealed.

 HM Revenue & Customs suspects the image rights deals are being used by clubs to top up payments to players at the Treasury's expense, because the image rights payments are taxed at a lower rate than normal wage payments. The Revenue's special civil investigations unit has a team of 20 tax inspectors sifting through players' image rights deals, and it has written to all the top players who receive part of their income through image rights. Clubs contest that the image rights deals are legitimate licensing payments, which are taxed at 21% or 28%, but if the Revenue determines the payments should be counted as wages, they would be levied at 40%, with a new 50% top rate from April. Premier League clubs, led by Premier League finance director Javed Khan, have attempted to strike a collective deal with the Revenue. The clubs face a backlash and possible legal action from players who would be receiving decreased net payments compared to what was promised in their contracts. Sullivan said that West Ham are trying to resolve issues between their players and the Revenue as quickly as possible, and that the club will withhold the image rights payments until an agreement is reached. Sullivan told ESPNsoccernet: "We are in negotiations with the Revenue and we hope to resolve things within three months, via a global settlement relating to all players of West Ham United. "If any player can agree things quicker in relation to their image rights payment and any possible tax due to HMRC we will pay them immediately [when] they resolve their position with HMRC. Every football club is in the same position. It wouldn't surprise me if the Revenue are aiming to recoup something like £100 million."{jcomments on}
