Quote from: customsandrevenue on August 11, 2011, 12:39:24 PMthe managers are self employed and invoice the club/county on a weekly basis. They pay their own tax in the same way any self employed person does. As for how the county/club account for the money, who knows, but it's a legitimate deductible expense (not that they should be paying tax anyway).
See there are posts on the Board about large sums of money getting paid to managers. Have always wondered where this money would come from. How would it be paid? Would the manager pay tax on it? Does the County pay into a pension scheme for the manager and do they pay their part of having him as an employee? Or is it all shady and murky?
Surely with it all being about allegations, then the tax people could prove to the GAA if managers are being paid or not. In Belfast, even the money from the gaming machines has to be accounted for in all clubs and bars. Long gone are the days of Clubs putting 200 pounds 'tips' in the books for the bin men' and such sundries. You hear fellas complaining about paying someone 100 pounds and 'All he does is put them round the cones for half an hour.' Would take it though that trainers are allowed to be paid and would be in the books as such.
