Guide to what constitutes a player payment
The RFU is unable to provide tax, legal or accounting advice. This material has been prepared for informational
purposes only, and is not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for tax, legal or accounting advice. Clubs,
players and other individuals should consult their own tax, legal and accounting advisors before engaging in any
transaction
Payment of Players can be a minefield where a 'gift' to players can be regarded as No Material Benefit and the same 'gift' given in a different way is a Material Benefit and constitutes paying the player.
The two documents attached describe the status of a club if they pay players and the status of a player when presented with gifts to enhance their experience of rugby.
Note that this FAQs is tabular and simple to cross reference.
Includes such simple benefits as gym membership or funds raised for tour!
Please read this to ensure that you know where you stand with HMRC and the RFU whether you are a club or a player.
