Baseball Payroll, NFL Payroll, NBA Payroll, NHL Payroll, MLB Payrolls
Baseball payroll (MLB payrolls), along with NFL payroll, NBA payroll, and NHL payroll all have complex rules regarding how payroll taxes are treated. Teams must be sure they have a payroll service program that is well versed in taxing the players and staff appropriately to ensure proper compliance.
Unlike typical businesses whose employees' wages are taxed based on the rate of the state in which they are employed, sports teams have different rules. Each player or staff member's paycheck is subject to their home state's rate for the majority of the time. But when teams go on the road to play a game in another state, their pay for that game is taxed at that state's rate.
Where the game is played determines how the paycheck is taxed. For instance, if the New York Red Robins travel to Cincinnati to play the Fighting Ostriches, the paychecks of all players and coaches involved pay Ohio taxes. When the New York Red Robins travel to Chicago to play Chicago Screaming Rabbits, both teams will pay Illinois taxes for that game.
The same rules hold true for MLB payrolls, NFL payroll, NBA payroll, and NHL payroll. Many payroll service programs are unable to handle the complexity of these rules; when evaluating payroll you need to be aware of this and ask the right questions to ensure you will be in compliance.
