ATO to look at NRL

Chances are the extra payments to the players were claimed as a deduction in the entity's making the payments tax returns thus they would have lodged something with ATO letting them know they were paying the players something.

For all we know they actually issued PAYG Payment Summary's to each of the players and lodged them with the ATO.

The ATO couldn't care less if the payments came from Brown Paper Bags Pty Limted ATF The We Didn't Know Anything Trust. As long as they declared the income it is all good.

Weren't they invoiced as consulting fee's?

If yes, then its likely the invoicing entity claimed the bogus consulting fee's as a deduction, but that doesn't mean the receiving entity has declared the income received.

Well just because the payments weren't declared to the NRL, doesn't mean they weren't to the tax office . So people that automatically think they were 'illegal' (in tax office terms) could be well off the mark

NO teams have ANYTHING to worry about. Only Melbourne have done this. No other teams would ever try something this stupid.


They're all safe. Trust me.

Good question.

Also is there cap in AU$ or NZ$?

Makes it a bit unfair either way, what with fluctuations in the value of the $.
Aussie dollars for their cap and salaries. Which explains why some Kiwi players in Australia are keen to sign up with the Warriors.

Who gives a f**k really as it is only sport.
I think Australia has bigger fish to fry like looking for terrorist's,paedophiles,murderers and crooked politicians then a sport that repeatedly gets sh*tted on.

Hard to believe the word of a man called Rudd in the current political climate. :)

The ATOs brief will include monies spent and claimed by the Storms majority owner, News Ltd, this why Hartigam and his accountants are so rattled by all this mess being made public...Gallop with his News Ltd past is probably looking at other employment possibilities.
