Certainly agree that it has proved an advantage in keeping away from the current round of the mercenary merry-go-round.
But in the long-term this, added to us having to pay VAT on gate receipts is a real negative.
I've long dreamed that Derry City could build a new stadium down by Coshquin with one half of the pitch on each side of the border. We could then evade tax in both jurisdictions (a la Slab Murphy), by retreating into the other half of the pitch whilst frustrated taxmen would have to stop at the halfway line and shake their fists in a bizarre Dukes of Hazard type way.
In fact, I'm surprised Ollie hasn't thought of this already....

I don't know if eL players look at it but the tax rebate for sports people is considerabel especially for the higher earners. Taking the example of eL players earning 70k the tax rebate while not able to draw down for 10 years is worth at least 15% top up.
I'd be surprised if a high earner such as jason Byrne was due over 200k+ tax back after his best 10 years. Its like a short term pension. was not aware tax years had to be concurrent.

Exactly, a lot of the big-earners are screwed when they come to collect their back tax.
Incidentally, a former Pats player has just been done by the Revenue because Pats claimed his tax credits despite the fact that they were used up in his other job. He get's done, Pats don't. Not the Revenue's fault but the FAI should be looking into this kind of financial cheating.

As far as I know the tax incentive only applies to your 5 highest earning years over a ten year period as a professional sportsman.
It's the only reason Malcolm O'Kelly and Brian O'Driscoll didn't go to France when offered deals there.
Afaik it's your 10 best years.
I didn't think they had to be consecutive though, but that would make sense given the idea behind it, to incentivise top sportspeople to stay in Ireland.
Otherwise they could spend their peak years abroad and still avail of up to 10 years tax rebates.
