Not the sort of player you'd expect to be investigated for such misdemeanours...

    Geez, £1,100,000 is a sizable chunk to miss off your self-assessment..

    Interesting to see that his missus is allegedly involved too.

    He won't go to prison cos he's a footballer and unfortunately, these people kids look at as role models get away with things most normal people wouldn't. Expect a hefty fine and other bits but prison I doubt . Not that I agree with it .

    Unreal how it can get to that amount when I once got a letter claiming I owed £7 odd.

    He will have to play incognito when he is eventually released on bail and just in case anyone recognises him and gives him abuse. Mind you , he needs to stick a syrup on his bonce to cover up that monkey's bum on the back of his head in any event .HMRC 1 Mr and Mrs Murray 0.

    When the Brighton fans shout "attack, attack, attack" does he hear that as "a tax, a tax, a tax"

    He is there top Scorer
    He gets sentenced and that could be what relegates them

    Anything to get a penalty, just like when he was at Palace.

    He's only just been arrested. The couple's computers were seized during the HMRC arrest. The data that are on the computers will need to be properly preserved as a first stage and can only then be analysed. It would be beyond extraordinary if a court case happened any time soon. Interesting that it's reported to be VAT too - not just income tax.

    Predetermining the outcome and trotting out the old "role models" line. Classic stuff.

    Small fry. Big headlines.

    When are they going to deal with corporate fraud?

    What information have you heard that suggests this matter isn't of that nature? There's a couple of clues: the mention of VAT and the HMRC spokesperson saying business records were seized.

    Meanwhile, the answer to your question is that they are and are continuing to do so. Read more here: https://accountancylive.com/hmrc-raises-extra-ps26bn-corporation-tax-investigations
