HMRC OVER ALLEGED TAX DODGING

| HMRC AND MANCHESTER TAX ISSUE |
NEW INVESTIGATION:- HMRC
are investigating two Manchester United players over alleged image rights tax
dodges.
An agreement established in the 2014-15 season allowed clubs
to pay a fifth of their players' wages through 'image rights' companies.

This means that the players avoid income tax on the money
and clubs reduce their National Insurance contributions.
The United players said to be under investigation are not
expected to have knowingly avoided paying taxes.
The club and his agent have declined to focus on the allegations.

revealed earlier this year that over 100 players, 39 clubs and 13 agents were
under investigation.
A HMRC spokesman said: "We rigorously enforce the rules
and tackle firmly anybody who games the system. Since 2014-15 we have delivered
£269million in extra tax from tackling rule-breakers in the football industry
generally."
Manchester United returns to Premier League action with a
trip to Stoke Man City next weekend after the international break.
