Fakturering från eget företag:(skatteverkets ställningstagande)Prispengar anses inte vara ersättning för en motprestation - avser inte en ersättning för tjänst som idrottsutövaren har gjort. Vilket betyder att prispengar som utbetalas enbart om man som deltagare i tävling får en bra placering är undantaget moms.
