Lexus Eastbourne Open | Player Guide
Welcome to the Lexus Eastbourne Open!
On behalf of the LTA, I’d like to offer a very warm welcome to you all. The tournament facilities at Devonshire Park continue to improve and we hope you like the expansion of the player areas that are on offer this year.
You might also be pleased to hear that the restaurant voucher prize draw that was introduced last year to celebrate the 50th anniversary is going to continue, providing more winning opportunities!
Myself and my team are here to help you have the best week you can and prepare successfully for Wimbledon.
Our Player Services Team of Debbie Ormston, Sophie Stevens, Huw David and Max Beech are on hand for anything you need during your stay.
I look forward to seeing you in Eastbourne!

Please note the following information about UK withholding tax.
Prize money issued by the LTA events is subject to a withholding tax under UK Tax Authority. Under the revised ""Reduced Rate Tax Withholding Application"" the amount earned by any non-UK resident player before tax is £12,570 from 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025. Once a non-UK resident player's earnings exceed this amount, all prize money earned from LTA events will be subject to a 20% withholding tax deduction.
When tax is deducted on-site Player Services will complete a FEU2 form showing details of prize money earned and tax withheld. A copy of FEU2 form will be provided to players during event and players should retain this for their tax agent / manager. A duplicate copy cannot be issued. The LTA will be responsible for paying the tax withheld over to the UK Tax Authority.
