We are getting away from the subject here, however, you can start a self managed super fund for around $500,000, or contribute to an industry super fund, however this amount would consist of around three years on NON concessional contributions being brought forward, however, as this money in the Turbos' case be a form of income, then tax has to be paid on it.Not to be a picky so and so, but you can't just start uo a super fund with a $500k balance. You would breach contribution caps by a long shot.
You only get tax breaks on personal contributions up to $25k per year.
The $25,000 cap only applies to concessional contributions, where this amount is offset against your taxable income, and a tax rate of 15% applies to this contribution.
Either way, the club cannot guarantee or solicit or promise third party deals on behalf of players, I don't even think that a company , providing they are not sponsors of the club, can approach the club seeking to offer a third party deal, everything has to be done at arms length from the club.
