SW5 SAINT Posted 9 April, 2020 Share Posted 9 April, 2020 Well I guess either the Government get 45% tax from the players wages or they pay 80% of the salaries so it's a win-win either way. Yes, I've over-simplified it. It would only be 80% up to a ceiling of £2,500 a week..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenridge Posted 9 April, 2020 Share Posted 9 April, 2020 It would only be 80% up to a ceiling of £2,500 a week..... Yes, as I said I over-simplified it but the fact that the Gov will receive 45% taxation from the players wages far exceeds what they would pay SFC employees on the furlough scheme so as we are not taking advantage of it is a massive help to the Gov coffers. Albeit some of that tax might be delayed a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintmatt Posted 9 April, 2020 Share Posted 9 April, 2020 I believe PAYE and NIC is due on the earlier of entitlement and payment. So as long as the players have only deferred payment (and not entitlement), Saints will still pay the government (and NHS) the tax due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted 9 April, 2020 Share Posted 9 April, 2020 Well done the club, hoping it will make some other clubs (and indeed other companies that can afford it) sit up, take notice and most importantly take action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 9 April, 2020 Share Posted 9 April, 2020 It would only be 80% up to a ceiling of £2,500 a week..... The government will also pay the employer’s NI and pension contributions. It may not be generally realised that no money has been handed over yet. The employer still has to pay the wages as usual and then claim them back later. ‘Hopefully’ the government website will be live during the week after next and reimbursement should follow within two or three weeks of that. As for the £10,000 grant to business ratepayers I have been told that ‘hopefully’ EBC will be sending that out later next week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as long as the players have only deferred payment (and not entitlement), Saints will still pay the government (and NHS) the tax due. That is the case for directors and certain others, but not employees. Saints will only be paying the PAYE/NIC when the players are actually paid.

VectisSaint Posted 9 April, 2020 Share Posted 9 April, 2020 Being a bit picky - the statement says deferring 'part' of their salaries but doesn't say what percentage that is It doesn't. I have read elsewhere it is 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 9 April, 2020 Share Posted 9 April, 2020 Your understanding is wrong unfortunately. A friend I know (plus others) who works for saints were furloughed for an initial 3 weeks on Friday. To say I’m a more than a little disappointed at the clubs actions is an understatement.The club have now put out a statement confirming what I was told. No staff have been or will be furloughed, at least not before June 30. Sorry, wild-saint. Your information was wrong.

egg Posted 9 April, 2020 Share Posted 9 April, 2020 It doesn't. I have read elsewhere it is 10%. If so, it's hardly the great gesture people are making it out to be. "Boss, the world's in a mess and I ain't playing or training, so I'll have just £90k a week for the next few months, you can square me up for the other £10k a week when this ****'s blown over".

They are Arsenal, Bournemouth, Burnley and Southampton. but the general tact of the article is a lot of clubs are way of saints with, regards to player wages, mostly down to the PFA.

doddisalegend Posted 10 April, 2020 Share Posted 10 April, 2020 Any comment from this poster, as it appears he was fed a load of bol locks or what? taken from this article Southampton's management team were preparing to furlough non-playing staff on Wednesday night, risking all the reputational damage attached to that term since Liverpool brought a public relations disaster down on their own heads seven days ago. It was this prospect which extracted a compromise of sorts from Southampton's players. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/premier-league/ian-herbert-footballs-very-future-is-at-stake-amid-coronavirus-pandemic-so-the-stubborn-players-must-cut-the-clubs-some-slack/ar-BB12p18j?ocid=spartandhp seems like the poster was right at the time but the players stepped up and did the right thing.
