FOOTBALL clubs in England have racked up tax debts of £140million-plus in the pandemic.
Sixty clubs in the Premier League and English Football League have the debt, figures obtained by The Sun show.
Premier League clubs owe £49.5million in unpaid taxes including VAT.
EFL clubs owe £91.8million in accrued taxes, with £64million in the Championship, £24.9million in League One and £2.9million in League Two.
The taxman would not identify any of the clubs involved but it is understood that Wayne Rooney’s Derby County owes £28million.
HMRC confirmed that repayment agreements have been struck so clubs are not in arrears.
