Lock up game’s tax deviants

887
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

The football industry is busy with its twice-a-year transfer jamboree this week but there will scarcely be a player, manager or executive in the country who isn’t daily checking on Harry Redknapp’s on-going court case into his alleged tax arrangements.

Harry, of course, is one of the game’s popular figures, everyone likes him, including me, but his evidence yesterday, that he’s been told “The problem with you is you’re named Harry and you have a cockney accent”, will have the nation pondering if he’s another victim of the systemic prejudice against white, wealthy, indigenous-named, senior and successful people from London.  There must surely be a support group he can join.

I’m sure Harry’s innocence will be established but the law and tax authorities are right to pursue any doubt that exists in the running of the game, without fear or favour.  Where appropriate, pursue the guilty through criminal, not just civil, courts.  Only then will the innocent be sure of a level playing field. Lock ‘Em Up, as a Cockney may observe.

    Taxcase

     

     

    Following Terry’s call on snide and the rant from dawill about how the taxcase

     

    had misrepresented his actions,

     

    I now expect a prompt response from the taxcase site, and given his track record to date i expect that Dawill will

     

    wish he had kept his mouth shut.

     

     

    Go get him taxcase

     

     

    what a pantomine

     

     

    i;m luvin it

    Good evening lads and lasses. Been reading/browsing for a while and its about time I did something about joining in. So just using my first post to say hello [only 1 of them] to you all.

  33. ernie lynch on

    I think what Dawyl was saying was that there weren’t two versions of the same contract but a contract for the playing of football, which was registered with the SPL, and a contract for ancillary matters eg image rights.

     

     

    So, two contracts each dealing with different matters.

     

     

    Why have two contracts though if you were going to avoid income tax through using an EBT?

     

     

    Doesn’t ring true.

    Welcome

  36. Bhoy67 on

    Typically of the press and dawyl in particular, instead of saying he does not know

     

    the answer to the two contract question, he comes out with a load of unsubstantiated piffle

     

    made up nonsence and made up rubbish.

     

     

    thats what passes for reporting these days

    Does not ring true to me either ,more like players agents wanting it in black and whyte that their clients would not have to pay back any loans from the EBT trust fund .

     

    Funny but that is how a lot of these agents work ,they tend not to take a verbal agreement .

     

     

    Also if HMRC win their case ,would that not mean that they had proved that the EBT contracts were in fact wages and not image rights

     

    hail hail

    Ernie

     

     

    You are correct it can’t be true. The EBT works as a separate contract from employment. If you are paying £1m per year in the contract you can’t pay this through EBT. The EBT replaces it.

     

     

    Therefore, either they have submitted falsehoods or the contract indicates a nominal sum and no one at SFA queried it.
