El Zen Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 He’s done brilliantly in the property business, to be fair. But yeah, tax dodging isn’t cool. I’m not sure his line of defense will hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last few seasons of his career he would've been earning a few £million per year tbf. His wiki has a Norwegian paper that claims he demanded 600,000kr per match from Valerenga after he left England, which would indicate he was likely on around £60k p/w (I think that would be the conversion for the time) at us and West Ham. Then 10 years of inflation, investment and not paying his tax, he could easily have a net worth of £28m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Gosh could be in big trouble. It does make you wonder sometimes if they just leave their accountants to do all their accounts and some just do dodgey shit that people dont even know. But in all liklihood he knew Edited April 23, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Can't imagine he had much of a clue about tax law and he was dependent on an advisor telling him what he can and can't do. Assuming he was declared as tax resident here and paying taxes here, then I can understand the defence. Whether it stands up in court I guess we'll find out. Ignorance is rarely an excuse. He's always struck me as one of the more intelligent footballers around so maybe he did know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We say ignorance is not a excuse but if your sure about how to do your tax you get an accountant to do it for you. I have a accountant i have no idea if they doing any dodgey shit as just putting my trust in them to do it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a nice enough guy, even if intelligent probably isn’t the right word. I can absolutely believe he doesn’t know the law very well. He’s still responsible for his affairs, though, and claiming ignorance probably won’t keep him out of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
