It’s legal though and all people who get a big wedge will have a very good accountant to look for these loop holes!

Yes but they don't then bang a big drum and tell the government what to do with the money they have refused to contribute to.

He presumably pays around £100k a week in income tax? Surely that counts as contributing.

For what it's worth I think Rashford is a genuine bloke who's motivation was the kids. He just happens to benefit from having a very good PR team around him.

He has a great PR team around him and thankfully a shit football team around him. Lets be honest - it could be a lot worse....

But by utilising the many exemptions he does not pay his full amount, I doubt he pays a 100k a week for a start. Taking a tax free loan from his company is another instance. If he paid his dues he could stand as a people's champion railing against a selfish government who are leaving children starving (they are not but hey)
I see all and I mean all his actions as a PR exercise to promote him and make him more money.

Bearing" in mind some of that is the tax he deliberately didn't pay the government I don't see the relevance. The point I am making and many others.
He is telling the government how to spend the money raised from taxes whilst deliberately paying as little as possible himself.

Or his employers who are registered abroad!

How can you give away 125% of your wealth by the way?

Perhaps he's like the British Government who borrow money that they don't have to fund their Foreign Aid contributions?

Not according to the Sunday Times:

Explain to me how you can donate 125% of your wealth, of your own money.

That would suggest he literally gave away everything he had, and then took a loan out to the value of a quarter of what he was worth, and give that to Charity as well.

It’s a ridiculous graphic from the Sunday Times.

Nothing yet from the Spectator. I wonder if Rashford’s PR firm have issued legal warnings on whatever they wanted to publish.

I did wonder that at first too. I presume though it means he has donated £20m to charity, and his current wealth is £16m?

If that was the case surely he would have given away around 55%.

I believe it counts fundraising. My guess is he raised £20M, compared to his £16M net worth.

I would be surprised if Rashford was ever worth £36M. That's around what Pep is worth.
