Perhaps the club pays the tax and the contract specifies that. If the tax rate went up, then the take home pay would stay the same.

In a way the clubs are monopolies, as fans aren't prepared to switch allegiances in the same way as they would with something like a supermarket. They can charge what they want and the fans are "forced" to pay it.
