I know Will Coleman from the University of Memphis just signed with La Mans. Is there any idea what kind of salary he is getting to play there? I know it is a 1 year contract but I don't know the numbers. Thanks Hey guys, I had a quick question. I know Will Coleman from the University of Memphis just signed with La Mans.

"Net" in Europe means the equivalent of what Americans call "take home pay",in other words the amount of the check. It does NOT however mean that the teams will pay personal income taxes (IRPP) for the player.The reason for this is very simple: If the team does pay the personal income taxes for the player,this is considered by the French Tax administration as a "perk", (advantage en nature) therefore as a type of salary,these taxes in turn are then subject to the 70% Social charges,and again to being taxed as income the following year.This,of course explains why the Americans signing in France are generally paid less,and are of a lesser level than those playing in Spain,Italy,Greece,Russia etc. etc.and of course why French BB is struggling so much.It amlso explains why so many Americans don't come back to France once they discover the truth about "net" salaries in France. .(had a computer problem).what they tell the American agents and the player is that they pay “taxes” for the player,and talk about “net” salaries,and conveniently omitting to tell the player,that the word “net” in Europe,doesn’t mean the same thing as in The United States. “Net” in Europe means the equivalent of what Americans call “take home pay”,in other words the amount of the check.

Generally speaking when a player is paid a 100 000€ net salary,the employer pays another 70% in social charges (charges sociale) this includes nationalized medical coverage,unemployment,old age etc. This does NOT however include the club paying the players personal income taxes.So paying a player 100 000€ net costs the team a minimum of 170 000€,plus the additional perks ,cars,plane tickets,housing,medical insurance. One thing that most players and American agents ignore,is that the teams will NEVER pay the players personal income taxes.

If you add some others common expenses (phone, cars and sometimes food), it can raise to 165.000€. As a basketball fan, I can only complain : French teams don't have the financial power to attract the top players in the market. But as a citizen.....why should guys with big salaries have no taxes ??? Basketball players can not be counted among the poor. In France more than 4M people live with less than 500€/month.....ok, they don't pay taxes. But would you rather pay taxes or have a comfort zone with your income ??? And as a basketball enthousiastic, I saw Udonis Haslem, Tariq Kirksay, Marc Salyers, Khalid El-Amin, Marcus Brown.....it's maybe in France that we can see the most prospects.
