WE CAN HELP YOU WITH:
INSURANCES AND WORK-RELATED INJURIES
PENSION SCHEMES, SPORTS SAVINGS AND INSURANCE
Any footballer can get injured. But do you know, if your club has insured
you, and if they have reported your injury? Spillerforeningen helps and
guides you if you get injured, and helps you get on with your case in the
best possible way. We will make sure that you get the best help available
and get the help and compensation you are entitled to.
With the CBA, Spillerforeningen have secured pension schemes, sport
savings and insurance for all players. Our partner WillisTowersWatson has
some of best advisors in the business, helping you get the optimal output.
TAX COUNSELLING
The Danish tax system can be very difficult to understand, and special
rules also apply to football players as well. It is therefore a good idea to
get professional tax guidance to make sure you pay the right taxes and
get the right deductions. If you are uncertain about any tax related issues,
you can seek advice from our tax-guidance partner EY, one of the leading
accounting firms in Denmark.
STATEMENT OF CLAIM AND JUDICIAL COUNSELLING
