fees and image rights, as well as tax on benefits in kind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Benefits in kind included arrangements made for players and their families by clubs, including flights and hotels.<\/p>\n<p>It had previously been suggested that Premier League sides had avoided paying \u00a3250million in tax by using dual representaition contracts when paying agents.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/02\/00\/76052549-0-image-a-46_1696204087745.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>HMRC claimed back \u00a3124.8million from Premier League clubs in the previous financial year\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Tax Policy Associates, dual representation allows clubs and agents to avoid employment taxes and VAT on the large commissions paid to football agents in transfers and contracts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It sees an agent receive payments for acting for both the club and player in the deal, rather than solely from the player they represent.<\/p>\n<p>The fees paid to agents reportedly escape income tax, national insurance and VAT when the sum is paid by the club.<\/p>\n<p>Following news of the HMRC claim, Elliott Buss of UHY Hacker Young explained: &#8216;HMRC now have these clubs&#8217; tax affairs in their sights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The growing proportion of agents&#8217; fees being paid by clubs is drawing the attention of the taxman to the possibility that not all tax due on these payments is being paid.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, HMRC said: &#8216;We will continue to carefully scrutinise arrangements between clubs, players and agents to ensure the correct tax is paid.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We work closely with the football industry to educate and deal with tax risk head on.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12582563\/HMRC-125MILLION-unpaid-tax-Premier-League-clubs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HMRC claim back almost \u00a3125MILLION in unpaid tax from Premier League clubs &#8211;
