The top 10 Premier League earners paid more than \u00a3100 million to the U.K. Treasury between them. The estimated tax bills reveal how sizable salaries translate into substantial public contributions.<\/p>\n
Estimated tax payment: \u00a37.8 million. The ephemeral German was widely considered to be Arsenal\u2019s highest-paid player before Bukayo Saka earned himself a bumper new deal in January. The England international will surely find his way onto this list next year with that pay packet flooding his way.<\/p>\n
Estimated tax payment: \u00a37.9 million. A seven-digit tax bill represents some transformation from Gabriel Jesus\u2019s modest beginnings. To earn some extra money as a football-loving scamp, the Brazilian painted the streets of his neighbourhood in preparation for the home World Cup in 2014. Two years later, Jesus won Olympic gold at the Rio de Janeiro games for Brazil alongside Neymar Jr., one of the faces he had painted on the curbs of his local area.<\/p>\n
Estimated tax payment: \u00a38.8 million. Omar Marmoush\u2019s hefty tax bill may very well be indicative of the financial reward which Manchester City offered him as incentive to leave Eintracht Frankfurt in the middle of last season. Thus far, it seems to have worked out better for Marmoush\u2019s bank balance\u2014and the coffers of the U.K. Treasury\u2014than City.<\/p>\n
Estimated tax payment: \u00a39 million. One of Bernardo Silva\u2019s understated qualities which Pep Guardiola cherishes more than some of his obvious technical gifts is the capacity to never show a \u201cbad face\u201d even in defeat. A look at his latest tax bill may have contorted Bernardo\u2019s expression.<\/p>\n
Estimated tax payment: \u00a39 million. One way for Bruno Fernandes to rid himself of any tax demands would be to belatedly accept those eye-watering offers which roll in from Saudi Arabia. There is no personal income tax in the Kingdom. However, as Jordan Henderson discovered to his own cost, it\u2019s not that simple. A former U.K. resident must spend the rest of that tax year and the entire following tax year outside the U.K. to ensure that their earnings are not subjected to Britain\u2019s tax laws.<\/p>\n
Estimated tax payment: \u00a39.7 million. The two-year contract extension which Virgil van Dijk signed last April cemented his status as the world\u2019s highest-paid defender. How times have changed. When the Dutch centre back was coming through the ranks of his local youth side in Breda, he worked as a dishwasher at a local restaurant earning \u20ac3 per hour.<\/p>\n
Estimated tax payment: \u00a39.8 million. Raheem Sterling\u2019s tax bill next year is set to be a lot more modest. After willingly tearing up his contract at Chelsea this month, the former England international is reportedly prepared to accept less than a third of the \u00a3325,000-a-week wage which he collected at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
Estimated tax payment: \u00a310.9 million. Casemiro won\u2019t have to pay up for much longer. Manchester United\u2019s midfield totem has announced he will be moving onto pastures new come the end of the current campaign. Saudi Arabia and its tax incentives has been upheld as a potential option while Major League Soccer could also offer a new landing spot. U.S. taxes are dependent upon each state, which play some part in Casemiro\u2019s thinking when he weighs up the bevvy of suitors vying for his attention this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
