Erling Haaland and Mo Salah Rank Among UK’s 100 Biggest Taxpayers

Premier League stars Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah feature among the UK's top taxpayers, signaling their massive wages. Betting implication: back Haaland for Golden Boot and Manchester City in title markets given long-term commitment; be cautious on Liverpool bets involving Salah because Saudi transfer interest could alter his availability and club form.

Premier League Stars Rank Among UK’s Biggest Taxpayers

Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah are listed among the UK’s top 100 taxpayers, highlighting the vast salaries paid in the Premier League. The 100 individuals on the list collectively contributed an estimated £5.758bn in tax over 12 months, up from the previous year.

Haaland: Youngest High-Value Contributor

Erling Haaland, 25, appears as the youngest entry, with an estimated £16.9m tax bill. He reportedly earns around £525,000 per week at Manchester City under a long-term deal running into 2034. His presence on the list reflects both record wages and elite on-field status.

Salah’s Big Pay and Transfer Uncertainty

Mohamed Salah is also included, estimated to have paid about £14.5m in tax after extending his contract with Liverpool. The 33-year-old is said to earn roughly £400,000 per week. Ongoing links to the Saudi Pro League mean his future in English football remains uncertain, a factor that could influence Liverpool’s planning and form.

Other Notable Names and Big Pockets Outside Football

Business figures who have contributed large tax sums top the rankings, while sports and entertainment stars also feature. Former Newcastle owner Mike Ashley and heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua are among the familiar names on the list. Joshua earned substantial sums from a high-profile December fight, contributing to significant tax payments. Musicians and celebrities, including Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles, also appear among the highest contributors.

Betting Implications and Market Takeaways

The tax list underlines where the game’s financial power lies and hints at market stability for certain players:

- Back Erling Haaland in Golden Boot and consider Manchester City in title markets; his long-term contract and earnings suggest club commitment and top-level performance continuity.

- Be cautious on Liverpool-related bets involving Mohamed Salah until transfer speculation resolves; a move or prolonged uncertainty could affect Liverpool’s attacking output and odds.

- High-profile boxing purses can sharpen interest and liquidity in big-match markets, making major fights more attractive for staking but also more volatile.

Conclusion

The presence of Premier League superstars on the taxpayer list reaffirms their commercial and sporting value. For punters, Haaland looks like a stable bet for season-long awards and City’s ambitions, while Salah’s contract and transfer chatter introduce conditional risk for Liverpool-related wagers.
