HMRC is seeking bankruptcy of Sky football pundit Jamie Carragher for an unpaid tax bill.
The amount involved has not been disclosed nor the basis of the claim.
But a number of ex-footballers have gone bankrupt having been sold tax schemes which they thought were kosher.
I suspect the amount involved is substantial as with Carragher’s media earnings at Sky, CBS and The Telegraph you would have thought he could have paid down most demands.
I’m a LFC supporter but I sold a company in 2025 that will be paid over 5 years . I had to pay the whole Tax liability to HMRC in one go though . Why is it celebs, and sport stars seem to go bankrupt at will when it suits them even though they still have high paying jobs
