The gruelling tour of Australia is all set to get even more tough for the Indians as the entire team will be taxed for playing in Australia this summer.

Cricket Australia (CA) has sent in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to the BCCI, which has sent the Indian Board into a spin.

According to a change in the tax laws since India’s last visit to Australia in 2003, entertainers and sports people working in the country are being taxed for the income they generate.

Indian cricketers would thus be taxed for the present tour from their match-fee which could be to the tune of nearly $1.5 million (Approximately Rs 6 crore).

An Indian cricketer will get around $6,200 and $4,000 for a Test and a one-dayer.

The Indian team media manager Dr MK Shridhar has confirmed that the BCCI is asking for an amendment in the law.

Spencer bro, thats how these nations are developed and we are not..

they give lot of pays out but they also make sure they get everything back from people in form of taxes….

Its hard to save even 15% of your savings in UK, cause taxes , national insurance, council tax and TV tax make sure everything we get goes back to Govt
