The Major Sporting Events (Income Tax Exemption) Regulations 2021
These Regulations provide for an exemption from income tax on income earned in the UK in connection with football matches held in the UK as part of the Union des Associations Européennes de Football (UEFA) EURO 2020 final tournament. The exemption applies only to individuals within the meaning of “accredited person” (as defined by regulation 2), such as accredited players, officials or contractors of the participating national football associations, UEFA, UEFA Events SA and partner organisations. The individuals must be non UK resident in the tax year 2021-22 or, where the tax year is a split year in relation to the individual, the income must relate to the overseas part of the year.
