If the friendly could be classed as a charity event then in theory gate sales wouldn't be eligible for VAT, however i don't think that this would be allowed as its primary purpose would be a standard sporting event with the majority of proceeds going to batleys company. The amount payable to the players could be paid to a charity, but if they were to then turn it straight over to the players then that would be tax evasion. The money could be paid to BB, but it would have to be used to support their organisational aims (bit of a vague answer but i don't know much about the workings of bullbuilder).



The players would potentially be classed as self employed so income tax would apply based on the profits they make through the provision of their services. Batley wouldn't pay the income tax, that would be on the players to arrange. If you were to transfer me money in return for me providing a service then it would be taxable.

Its a good question, I had been thinking the same thing on the way home from the match. Are we open for trading? My lottery is now either due or overdue.

Stopped paying lottery at point we got liquidated. Afaik they stopped collecting it at that point.

Its in a separate account and as a charity type lottery is not touched by the Administrator and should be up and running again soon I hope!

Thanks for that, might just take a ride up and see if theres anyone about. Might be a bit like the Marie Celeste!

Well I believe the Ghost of Stuart Duffy still haunts the place

but don't tell M E as he might be tempted to do an exorcism
