In this episode, RPC's Taxing Matters Host and Senior Associate in RPC's Tax Disputes team, Alexis Armitage, will be discussing the taxation of international sports and rock stars with leading silk, Patrick Way KC.
Patrick is one of the founders of Field Court Tax Chambers. He has successfully represented clients at all levels of the UK court system and has acted for both taxpayers and HMRC.
In this episode, the following will be discussed:

- IR35 – an update on where we are after the Kaye Adams/Atholl House case
- The latest position of HMRC in relation to image rights contracts
- A brief discussion on the taxation of agents' fees (a further podcast will follow from our very own Michelle Sloane on this topic in April – watch this space!).
