"In this world, nothing is certain, apart from death and taxes", and the core subject for this episode is something that neither superstar players such as Cristiano Ronaldo nor football agents are immune from ........ tax !!!!. We are joined by football tax specialist Peter Fairchild, to look at the tax landscape for football agents operating in the English Premier League and the other leagues in the UK. Plus, we take a look at some of the tax implications from the new FIFA Football Agent Regulations (FFAR), where at this moment in time things are far from certain.
Whilst FIFA Circular #1873 regarding FFAR was released a few weeks ago, it confused many on the suspensions announced in regard to the new agent regulations. So, 'The Agents Angle' also examines another circular released by FIFA in recent days, that aims to provide some clarity to the confusion over the FIFA Football Agent Regulation suspensions.
Yet, with the negative impact that FIFA's implementation of FFAR has had on agents and agencies around the world; could FIFA be liable for losses and damages suffered by agents, with reports of an impending court case? EMAIL : questions@theagentsangle.com
