Probably 80pc of directors salary.

Thank you.

I just do standard self assessment, income minus expenditure = profit & pay tax on that , so I don't understand all this other dividend stuff.

I don't understand it either, I just do what @Biggish Dave tells me to

Not being picky but should your salary not be 1k a month to use your personal allowance so 800 furloughed?

No idea. Accountant sorts for us. 
Alternating furlough at 3 week intervals should be legit. So probably the route we will take.

If you are a limited company it’s the way to pay less tax and national insurance.

Technically by the letter of the law traf is spot on. It is classed as tax avoidance.
Have to do this as mandatory training each year at work. 

aye, it's definitely not evasion, or illegal

I take the view of it being a pay off from now not getting sick pay, paid leave or pension contributions

to be perfectly honest, I assumed i'd be doing it the way traf does it had I not been advised otherwise

and no one would turn round and say "no, lets do it the other way where I pay more tax please"

risk and reward - go for it on your own, or sit comfortably in a 9-5 where you get paid even if you still fuck around half the time

Absolutely mate. And I take the Easy option nowadays by staying in employment. Limited risk but less reward potentially

I was concerned, as a human being, that his talents might be sidelined at this time of greatest need. Thanks for the reassurance.

PL clubs furloughing non playing staff and expecting the government to pay 20%, to safeguard the future of the club, whilst the players pick up full wages

There's at least 5 of them doing it including Newcastle and Spurs

That's a piss take

I can’t speak for others clubs, but a few I know of are either carrying on as normal and continuing to pay, reduce to 80% now, whatever they lose out on to be clocked up and paid back over a few months down the line.

Some staff are employed by the club like myself  not the management regime  so I’m not affected even though I can’t work I’m lucky. But there are also a lot of agency staff at some clubs and are hired by external companies. Security, kiosk staff, waiting on staff, so they’ve been asking them to furlough through their companies and asking the government to foot the bill. It’s not directly the club.

Spurs are fucked because they need to be taking gate sales  to fund running that stadium. 
 

Newcastle are owned by Mike Ashley so go figure. 
Cant think why some of the other clubs would need to, maybe teams like Bournemouth and Burnley who run very tight financial ships.

Spurs gate money wont be that high, in the scheme of things

According to the Sun (I know...) its £800k per match for hospitality. More than I thought.

Edit: That doesn’t include any match ticket prices or merchandise BTW.

Exactly. Throw in the NFL and the baseball and potential boxing matches they were gambling on bringing in and hoping the champions league would follow and they still needed to be having big gate receipts.

10 games, 8 million on a turnover of over 300 million

Theres no justification

None at all

Stadium cost £1b. And it’s Levy. I agree with you government shouldn’t be funding any of these huge profit making companies but that’s how they’ll spin it. 
 

Last season there was a paper published about all teams that they could play games behind close doors all season and still make a profit. What is there left 9/10 games?
