Marie Macdonald quoted in Evening Times article regarding fitness instructors ‘teaching tax’ dispute

An article published in the Evening Times today discussed freelance gym instructors taking legal action over a £100 “tax” to teach in Glasgow’s network of leisure centres.

Instructors for Glasgow Life, which runs the city’s sports facilities, have been told they must pay the annual charge if they wish to continue teaching classes.

Marie was quoted in the article to say,

“We are looking into this matter for a large number of coaches throughout Glasgow. Investigations are looking at the legal tests involved in determining their status. The £100 fee was the catalyst but we are now looking at matters more broadly.”
