HM Revenue & Customs has raided football clubs Newcastle and West Ham and locations in France following investigations into tax fraud.

Football target

Football has long been in the taxman’s crosshairs with several high-profile cases in recent years.  

In early April, HMRC confirmed that it will visit all English Premier League, Championship and Scottish Premier League clubs in the next three years to review payments made to players.

A seven-year pursuit of Rangers Football Club for aiding and abetting tax avoidance ended in March, with a supreme court judgment expected by September.
