smithy09 50 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Rumour control at Sailing Anarchy reports: rumors and lies unhappy camper? Is the Camper/TNZ VOR project in trouble. Some anarchists think so... "There are some very reliable rumors coming from Madrid that Camper will have no right to any fiscal deductions because they chose to sponsor a non-Spanish team. As a result, always according to the same sources, the Spanish footwear company will NOT continue with its sponsorship (in fact they still haven't signed a final contract with Team NZ) and the whole project will quietly go bust. Can anyone be dumber than that?" Yet, we also have this: Your source is not as reliable as you claim. In fact we just finished meetings with Camper here on their sponsorship activation plans. Also FYI, the fiscal incentives in Spain are and have always been for Spanish companies, not Spanish sailors or Spanish teams. That is exactly why for example Team NZ were sponsored by a Spanish Beer company in the 32nd AC, Pirates of the Caribbean by Pescanova in 2005, etc. Jump in the discussion... 05/28/10 Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Crew.org has specialists in a lot of things but a Spanish tax accountant or sponsorship lawyer seems unlikely. Personally I'd be running with the second view on that post - that if it stacked up OK for Estrella Damm (the brewery), the same rules will apply to Camper. Link to post Share on other sites
