So a professional tax advisor asks us to spare a thought for poor Ussain, his sponsorship deals so massive the tax liability for a single appearance will wipe out his six figure appearance fee. I’m wiping away the tears as I type.

I bet all those athletes in less popular sports, returning home to the twin grinds of training and ordinary jobs must be pleased they don’t have his problems.

Never had this tax problem when Olympians were amateurs….. 😉

Did Donald Trump get taxed on a percentage of his worldwide earnings when he was in the UK a little while ago?

Or is it just sportsmen they are going after so they can have some good headlines about having a tough tax regime, while letting their mates drive big **** trucks of money to Monaco without even batting an eyelid.
