The ghost of Ashley. Newcastle pays £10m tax bill as HMRC cracks down on clubs
September 6 – Newcastle United have had to cough up more than £10 million to settle a long-running battle with British tax authorities according to multiple reports.
The dispute dates back to Mike Ashley’s ownership of Newcastle before the current Saudi-owned consortium took over.
In 2023, the High Court agreed with HMRC’s demands for Newcastle to pay £4.25 million in unpaid national insurance contributions, with another £2 million in unpaid VAT payments.
