Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps the Government is taking to ensure that high net worth footballers pay the correct amount of income tax.
Answered by Jane Ellison
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) ensures that High Net Worth Individuals pay the right amount of tax by applying the appropriate PAYE/NIC regulations correctly and by requiring them to declare the appropriate tax due through their personal tax return under the Self-Assessment system. This is monitored by HMRC’s “High Net Worth Unit”.
