Accounting Built for Sports Agents and Intermediaries
Sports agents face challenges that general accountants rarely handle. Dual representation fee allocation, HMRC compliance on player versus club services, VAT on commissions, FA Agent Regulations and international transfer payments all demand advisors who know how agency businesses operate.

Every VAT return, company account and tax filing is handled accurately.
Helping Sports Agents Manage Fees and Stay Compliant
Sports agents need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares commission income schedules, dual representation documentation, VAT returns, company accounts and tax planning, giving agents clear visibility over deal income, fee allocation records and overall agency profitability.
Whether you represent footballers, manage talent across multiple sports, negotiate endorsement deals, handle international transfers or combine agency work with consultancy, our ICAEW and ACCA qualified team adapts to your model, keeping the business and individual agents covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions football agents, talent intermediaries and multi-sport agency directors ask about specialist accounting.
How does dual representation affect tax?
Fees split between player and club services have dramatically different tax treatment. Player portions trigger income tax, NIC and non-recoverable VAT. Club portions attract no employment taxes and recoverable VAT.
Does HMRC accept a 50/50 fee split?
No. HMRC does not accept automatic 50/50 splits. The allocation must reflect commercial reality of services actually provided. Comprehensive evidence including contracts, emails and meeting records is required.
How is VAT charged on agent commissions?
Agent services are standard-rated for VAT. Clubs reclaim VAT only on club services. VAT on player services paid by clubs cannot be reclaimed and forms part of the taxable benefit.
What are the FA Agent Regulations?
The FA Football Agent Regulations took effect from January 2024 covering licensing, registration and conduct. Agents must comply with these alongside HMRC’s updated dual representation guidance and evidence requirements.
How should agents structure their business?
Most agents operate through limited companies, paying corporation tax on profits and extracting income through salary and dividends. Proper structure helps manage variable commission income and supports long-term planning.
Can ABM support sports agents nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves sports agents across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to football agents, talent agencies and multi-sport intermediaries.
