Entertainment Tax Liability
In accordance with current government legislation, the Championship Promoter is legally obliged to
withhold tax at the basic rate on all payments to non-UK resident sportsmen/women and account to
HMRC using form FEU1, the quarterly return of payments made to non-resident entertainers and
sportsmen/women.
That is, those persons who do not have a normal permanent residence in the UK. The UK does not
include the Isle of Man, Channel Islands or Eire. This means that, as the organiser, the Championship
Promoter is required to deduct tax at the current rate applicable from any such payments they may make
to non-UK residents.
Under certain circumstances, it may be possible for competitors to enter into an agreement with the
Inland Revenue to limit the tax withheld. Any application for such an arrangement must be made in writing
and not later than 30 days before the payment is due.
