Quote ="Bulls Boy 2011"Yes Batley are putting on a game of rugby. Yes their normal business will generate income. The turnstile operators, bar staff etc are legally employees of Batley......the Bradford players are not. It will be classed as a donation because they are not employees of Batley and Batley are graciously giving some of their profits to us.
Also depends on the method of paying the players and the staff? Will it be cash on hand? Doubtful? Will it be paid directly into the players and staff accounts like a bank transfer? Unlikely? Will they use BullBuilder/Bulls Foundation charities as a third party in order to give the Bulls the money in a lump sum to dish out? Or will they donate it through the JustGiving page that's set up?'"
The gate receipts would incur VAT which would go to HMRC. If batley pay the players directly the payment would be taxable as income tax. If it were to be paid to the players at zero tax via a registered charity that sounds like it would potentially be tax fraud. The payment would be taxable, the amount taxed would depend on the circumstances of the individual player.
but don't tell M E as he might be tempted to do an exorcism
