| 659048 | 2008-04-15 11:02:00 | And about time too - great idea - nz.sports.yahoo.com How are we going to stop these guys leaving the country otherwise? The big pockets overseas are too much for the NZRFU so I reckon tax breaks are the least they can expect. It might just be enough to retain our top players. | Winston001 (3612) | ||
| 659049 | 2008-04-15 11:11:00 | Why not just pay them more/offer better conditions? Better than asking the govt (i.e., taxpayer - rugby supporter or not) for mates rates I reckon. |

The big pockets overseas are too much for the NZRFU so I reckon tax breaks are the least they can expect. It might just be enough to retain our top players. I agree. However I would want the same tax breaks too. I, like a lot of young professionals such as doctors, architects etc, are off overseas where we can earn a lot more. What is being done to stop us leaving, absolutely nothing. |

And where did they come in the world cup again? The peson who suggested it, didn't actually research the facts before teh made the comment. They stated that in Ireland they do this, however the tax rate for all people in ireland is a lot less than in NZ. Also do we want to be copying irelands tax rules? |
