Benjamin Mendy settles tax bill with HMRC

I've been an IFA for 22 years and when starting out was given a profound piece of advice by an elderly gentleman who had been a tax inspector turned tax advisor which I have religiously stuck to when advising clients about tax mitigation schemes and HMRC and there predecessor. His advice was "it is better to be at the right hand side of the devil, than in his path".
 
Unpaid tax bills, a lot of the time.

The HMRC aren't people you want to fuck about with, they're like the mafia. You pay the cunts, before anyone else.
Presumably City would.have been taking his taxes out each month so this would be outside commercial work?
As with regards to HMRC, seeing as he doesn't live in the UK now, what cause of action could the tax man take if he just turned around and said "fuck off"

I'm not an expert in footballer finance but anyone with a sizeable amount of income wants to set up some kind of shell company as it's a lot more tax efficient than having all your cash coming in as PAYE.

They must do it this way surely?!

HMRC have DTAs with most countries tax authorities. These include agreements to assist one another to collect any purported liabilities. Despite what the HMRC press office claim there are certain countries where its still v easily possible to hide from HMRC but, sadly for Mendy, France isn't one of them.

Have HMRC got DTAs with Cyprus and Moss Side? Asking for a friend
