Australian authorities pay back money to Windies players

The West Indies players at the ICC Cricket World Cup in Australia who were slapped with a double tax imposition, have been swiftly given a refund by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for a portion of the money.

The development follows an exclusive story carried last week in the Sunday Express, that the players who are on regional retainer contracts were being taxed for monies earned outside of the Australian jurisdiction.

But last Wednesday the same players received notification that the deduction is being challenged and their monies returned.

At the end of last month, the players were e-mailed their pay slips which showed a deduction of 32.5 per cent of their monthly retainer contracts being taxed.

I knew Calypso would get it done for the Boys  8)

What is this all about..? Can some one brief me..?
I ddn't seem to understand anything out of this.What is that deduction all about.?

I don't know what it is with these tax hungry countries. England is the other one who love to tax foreigners who participate in their country in sporting activities. If I were the WICB I would not pay the Australian government anything.
