Player and coaches ‘fines’ are probably general tax deductions anyway. Most likely incurred in the ordinary course of producing their income. They’re not real fines which the law prevents you from deducting.

I think it’s been said before that they’re not tax deductible.
[quote]Legal expenses, fines and penalties
Fines and penalties for on-field conduct and legal expenses, including those relating to a tribunal decision, are generally tax deductible to the player, where they result from their performance as a player and as part of a football game.
However, fines, penalties and legal expenses for off-field breaches of conduct are not tax deductible.
So how do you reckon that applies to the angry dwarf. It wasn’t onfield. Or does he get an exemption due to his disabilities, eg height and anger issues?

[/quote]probably arguable either way. I’m sure he’ll claim it.
And hopefully gets done for tax fraud and sent to Manus Island, or Guanantomo Bay.

Also, please put Hirds fine into today’s dollars which would be $26,992.57.

And more to the point, he actually paid it!
Whereas a guy caught six times gets a 75% (maybe more, if it’s a direct payment to Fight MND) discount!

We need to account for the fact that we are going to get rooted by the umpires up in Sydney. Can’t remember the last “fair” game we had up there.

EFA.
I think this thread is going to be a busy place after the Swans game. It’s such a sure bet that we’ll be screwed by the umps

Part of that was suspended. Was any of Hird’s $20,000 suspended. Suspenders they’ll grab you every time.
lol
Use this bye week to lube up for a pineappling against AFL pets, Sydney.
Wonder if we will ever get to play them on our home turf grrrrr.
