read article the other week that the taxman coming after image rights money and some big name players could owe lots at some of the SL clubs.

I've no doubt that this will mean some people will have a tax bill. At the end of the day, payment for Image Rights is simply that, "Payment" and taxes should be paid.

This issue in the context of Howards post though menas that somebody can legitimately sell their "Image" and be paid money outside of the Salary Cap.

It doesn't make it any less taxable.

Surely depends on the club (and their salary cap position)?

Is the Championship SC still £400k? If so, £100k is 25% of total salary cap. Are you suggesting that clubs either spend just 75% of the SC in case they win, or blithely go over the cap by 25%?

Seem to remember that prize money for winning NRC,NLGF and Challenge cup were outside NL salary cap

It may have changed , then again it might not have

Fairly certain that CC prize money was also outside SL salary cap as well

Something about not punishing success
