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.
An FEU2 form will be issued, detailing PM earned and tax withheld. Players should retain a copy for their records. A duplicate copy cannot be issued.
