If I buy a charity shirt, could you tell me where my other £40 would go?

Well 20% of that £45 immediately goes to HMRC in VAT so that's £9 accounted for, add on the cost of the shirt which will be about £25 so that's £34 so £11 to share between the club and the chairty, given that the club will give the £5 for every shirt sold no matter whether they break even or not. Or were you just wanting to point a sticky finger and complain that you don't think its enough of a donation? |

The £45 is already VAT included so the HMRC share would be £7.50. Cost of the shirt would be £15-£17 (and they wonder why we get crap from ISC!). Assuming £17 then there is £20 "profit" in that shirt. £5 to the charity = £15 for the club. BUT, as you pointed out, the charity is getting £5 it wouldnt get without the sale (and I assume that the club could gift-aid their "donation" giving the charity a little bit extra). |

I don't know where you've plucked these figures from but VAT is at 20%, so its £9 to the tax man. The cost of the shirt isn't £15-17 at all, its £20-25 depending on size, style and make, and gift aid is for UK taxpayers not businesses. |

If the applicable VAT rate is 20% the ex-VAT cost will be £37.50 with VAT at £7.50 surely?
7.5/37.5 = 0.2 |

It's not enough of a donation. I think it's a bit of a disgrace really. When you say the shirt costs £25, I take it you mean this is the cost from ISC. I don't known if this is true or not but the actual price to manufacture should be a lot lower than this especially for the training top, which would mean ISC are making a good profit out of it. Are any of the sponsors that have their names plastered in the shirt making any kind of donation?
At the very least, when organisations are raising money for charity then they should also show a break down of where all of the costs go and if someones profiting from it they should be brought to task..
How many shirts are they expecting to sell? It can't be more than a few hundred judging by what I've seen at matches and in and around town. At a fiver a go, we can't be raising that much from shirt sales. |

I Completely agree with the above and have said it about all Charity shirt sales at every club.
If a club desides that they want to do a shirt to assist with raising awareness and funds for a charity then why doesnt the kit suppier itself get involved and "donate" the shirts for the purpose of rasing funds.
I used to work for New balance a few years ago and there marketing department where always looking for ways to raise to awareness of the brand and had a write off cost for giving away stock. Surely every company would have some sort of allowance for this every year and a good use of that would be a function like this! |

I agree with all this. There's also the slight problem of the shirt looking absolutely hideous and the training top even worse so no one in their right mind - even those who buy home and/or away shirts every year - would even contemplate wearing it. Between that and the godawful Leeds away kit that was one ugly match to look at tonight.
As an aside, I arrived in the West Stand ten minutes after kick off because I'd been at work and I didn't see a soul collecting for MND. Full credit to the club for raising awareness of a subject close to heart, but in my opinion those shirts are an embarrassment and only donating one ninth of the cost to the consumer to the charity is inexcusable. |
