Do transfer fees include VAT or are they +VAT ? and how does it work when buying and selling abroad?
I’ve tried to find this out elsewhere, but can’t really find the definitive answer. The combined brains of NSC will no doubt have the answer.

When Southampton sold Van Dijk the fee was £75m
Was that £75m +VAT (£90m) ? or £75m inc VAT (£62.5m) ?
Makes a big difference with how much money they have available to use to buy a replacement.

And how does it work when we buy or sell abroad?
£14m for Locadia. Do we pay Dutch VAT on top?

And did Liverpool get the whole £150m for Countinho?
Did it include the £25m VAT or did Barca pay the VAT on top?

I could well be wrong but I thought that they were the fee required by the selling club + vat. Taking into account that the selling club will pay the VAT as output tax and the buying club will claim it back as Input VAT.

It should say on the receipt.

No vat on Locadia as on sales between eu vat registered businesses neither pays/claims vat so it doesn't matter if their vat rate is different. This will of course change with brexit potentially making eu purchases more expensive
