Like the Agent bit most

 

As a matter of interest did anything happen with the Geovanni case yet?

 

I don't think so

Thanks, Peter, I read about half of it, if I understand it correctly it is still under review, with HMRC at the moment giving a temporary judgement that up 20% of a players salary can be put into an Image rights company. Is my understanding correct?

 

yes
I think previously players would get 50% or more of payments from a club as image rights but then HMRC cracked down.
