New report: how Premier League Football clubs have avoided £470m of tax, and how to stop it
Tax Policy Associates today reveals that Premiership football clubs are avoiding tax on an industrial scale, by artificially structuring their payments to football agents. We estimate this has cost £470m in lost tax since 2015.
In our view this is failed tax avoidance – it was never compliant with the law, and HMRC can and should require all the lost tax to be repaid.
