HMRC v Professional Game Match Officials - The Implications for Employment & Tax Status

Introduction

The case of HMRC v Professional Game Match Officials is yet another very important case in the field of employment and tax status.

The case concerns whether the relationship between a company responsible for providing football referees to the Football League and part-time referees constitutes an employment relationship so as to trigger an obligation on the company to deduct Income Tax and National Insurance from the payments it makes to the referees.

Expert speaker Paul Jennings will take you through the key points of the case and its implications.
