HMRC is investigating the tax payments of 171 football players, 44 clubs and 31 agents. The numbers are a significant increase on the 90 players, 38 clubs, and 13 agents that HMRC was investigating in September 2017.
The investigations are said to concern a range of issues, including image rights abuse. ‘We carefully scrutinise the individual arrangements between football clubs and their players to make sure the right tax is being paid in the UK,’ an HMRC spokesperson said. ‘HMRC rigorously enforces the rules and has brought in £332m in extra tax by tackling non-compliance in the football industry.’
