EIM64140 | Tax treatment of Association footballers: travelling expenses

There is a tax charge when a club meets the expense incurred by a contracted Association footballer or a professional Rugby footballer in travelling between his home and the home ground. Cash payments are taxable as earnings within section 62 ITEPA 2003 (see EIM10020). Travel vouchers are chargeable under Section 87 (see EIM16060).

As regards expenses payments to non-contract and amateur players, see EIM64145.
