McDavid would've kept $8.4m more dollars after tax if he signed in Nashville/Florida/Dallas, or $5.3m less if he signed in Montreal. Dollars taken home isn't the only thing players care about except Radulov

That's not how taxes work in pro sports.

Yeah.
I mean, Radulov apparently wanted to lessen the amount of Accountant's fees he wanted to pay. Connor could probably afford the best and still come out ahead.

my understanding is that income earned in different states is taxed according to those states also. i dunno what you are using but capfriendly has a calculator and you can just plug in a number and i don't think it's entirely accurate because of that. i'm not a cpa or whatever so feel free to correct me, it'd be interesting to know the entire story

I feel like you're still getting a somewhat significant difference even if only half of your games are taxed at a Texas rate vs a Quebec rate. I could be wrong though.

I feel like a significant part of that difference is the reduction in lawyers and accountants you need to effectively offshore your money.

Good news!

There's an athlete management group that's already done all the math for us

http://gavingroup.ca/personal-income-tax-rates-in-nhl-cities/

Alberta's total tax burden on the wealthy has risen from 39% to 48% over the last 5 years, dropping them from #1 in the league to near the bottom.

Using his $12.5m on that website, it comes out as:

Anaheim -$574k
Arizona $498k
Boston $427k
Buffalo -$15k
Calgary $0
Carolina $346k
Chicago $596k*
Colorado $486k
Columbus $130k
Dallas $1,065k
Detroit $233k
Edmonton $0k
Florida $1,065k
LA -$574k
Minnesota $162k
Montreal -$669k
Nashville $1,065k
New Jersey -$40k
Islanders -$16k
Rangers -$547k
Philly -$192k
Pittsburgh $306k
Ottawa -$686k
San Jose -$574k
St Louis $190k
Tampa $1,065k
Toronto -$685k
Vancouver $35k
caps -Washington -$49k
caps -Virgina -$347k
Winnipeg -$305k

That also means Subban would pay $1.25m less in Nashville than Montreal. Webber over $1m more.

Eberle would have paid $519k more in his last year on the oilers than his first.


This is all assuming any of them pay taxes at all.

I'm sure there's all kinds of creative accounting you can get into. I think it works that way with corporations as well (they pay where they're based out of rather than where they have branches or whatever) which is why they all have Delaware PO boxes. At the same time, when it comes to millions/billions of dollars I'm sure the state/federal/provincial economies have found a way to get their hands in on some of that.

DC is in a special situation. It has agreements with MD and VA about taxes so that you only pay as a resident of either MD or VA unless you actually live in DC part-time. Most other places don't do that and there are different rules for different states and localities regarding non-resident and part-time resident taxes and some have special rules specifically regarding pro athletes.

Since the NHL pays on a per-game basis, residency is a 50-ish% part of tax burden calculations so it's a big deal, but the overall math is pretty complicated.

There will be some differences between the sports I imagine, but two years ago someone leaked a photo of Pittsburgh Pirates player Andrew McCutchen and it shows how he paid Pennsylvania taxes plus some in cities from road games.

Not every jurisdiction has a jock tax, but most do. It's quite complicated and at times on shaky legal grounds. Several journeymen have made extra money by filing their teammates' tax returns for them. Most athletes have a financial adviser and it's not difficult to write off a bunch of crap like TVs (for watching game tape) and hot tubs (for recuperation) as business expenses.

Taxes are obviously a major concern for players, but they can be minimized pretty easily with a decent accountant. Athletes are as susceptible to misinformation as anyone else and end up getting suckered into high fee investments. They're for the most part new money (Mike Comrie and Zach Hyman aside) and have little to no education or motivation to learn about their finances, and end up entrusting the myriad of predatory individuals who circle the rich and foolish. They go broke because of major overspending and getting swindled, not taxes.

You're dealing with uneducated farm boys who have no concept of where their money goes and get taken for a ride like this:

quote:

Consider some misleading facts: The average NHL career is five-and-a-half years long and the average NHL salary is $2.4 million. So the average guy should have a total of $13.2 million at the end of his playing days. That’s more than enough to live happily ever after.

In truth, it isn’t. Taxes take about half (if you take no evasive tax action), agent and management fees take 25 percent, and the NHL snatches another 20 percent to put in escrow, which the owners balance out at the end of the season. Sometimes, they use the players’ cash to help small-market teams. Sometimes we’d get a refund. But for The New Avery Rule purposes, consider it gone. So really, that $13.2 million becomes $660,000 — which is still a lot of money, but you have to make that last for the next 50 or 60 years because if you have a five-and-a-half year NHL career, you’ve retired at age 25 or 26.
