Some of RTE’s top stars are facing the prospect of paying more tax if the Revenue decides they should be classed as employees, The Sunday Independent reports.

It had been speculated that long-term contractors would be targeted in last week’s Finance Bill but this failed to materialise.

However, the Sindo is now taking another bite at the story via the high earners in RTE such as Ryan Tubridy, Pat Kenny and Gerry Ryan who are paid through their companies rather than as employees.

“Any change in the criteria could have major implications for thousands of outsourced workers,” the newspaper notes.
