1/4 AN INTERESTING DILEMMA/DEBATE HERE...
What contributes more to the government, the NHS/police...etc.....
A PL player taking a pay cut that stays with the clubs owners or paying more than 45% tax through PAYE on a large salary which goes directly to the government?..
2/4 Let’s take a look at the average PL player-
£3m a year...£1.4m goes directly to tax
Let’s cut the wage by 80%-
£600,000 a year...£270,000 goes to tax
Now x500 players
£1.4m = £700,000,000m in tax
£270,000 = £135,000,000m in tax
Which one is preferred?
3/4 How about the government asks certain people who own airlines and are worth billions to start paying tax, or the sportspeople who are tax exiles. Now what about bankers?
The majority of players I know give a lot of money to charities and help communities...
4/4 Sit back and take a look at exactly how much is contributed to the government and economy through their wages and taxes. Everyone has an opinion on what they should earn but don’t forget what they contribute.
