County boards want Croke Park to take lead on revenue issues

Dec 11,2024

GAA county board officials from around the country met with the GAA's executive on Tuesday evening to discuss how to deal with possible revenue liabilities.

The meeting, which took place online, was organised in an attempt to address growing concerns about potential tax liabilities faced by various county boards nationwide.

Last week Mayo became the second county, after Galway, to confirm that they would not be signing off on their 2024 accounts, due to outstanding engagement with the Revenue Commissioners.

At the meeting concerns were expressed about recent developments involving the Revenue Commissioners.

A meeting has already taken place between the GAA and the Revenue Commissioners and further meetings are planned. Following on from that, county boards will be asked to self review over the coming weeks.

It is anticipated that team holidays, referee expenses, nutritional allowances, as well as management and backroom expenses will come under scrutiny.

The six county boards in Northern Ireland are not impacted by Revenue Commissioners decisions made in Dublin.
