New revenue criteria for referees’ fees rolled out

Referees across the country are adjusting to new criteria agreed by the GAA and the Revenue Commissioners to ensure they receive their match fees for this year.

With several counties set to pay their match officials for the 2012 season in one payment next month, referees are being asked to furnish county and divisional boards with the mileage they accrued going to games and transporting their umpires.

Referees also run the risk of audits if they don’t provide their Personal Public Service (PPS) Numbers.
