So much for Liverpoolâs working class credentials. Frauds 
All that money and donât pay any corporation tax while the country goes to shit. Unbelievable. Proud of our club.

Imagine paying taxes over transfer fees. State of this club
All that really tells me is that every single title winning club over the last decade has had some form of investment from its owner. Even Leicester City benefited heavily from investment from their owner.
From the twitter thread, corporation tax is largely based on profit apparently. So if Liverpool arenât in profit, or are only recently in profit, they wonât have been paying corporation tax. Not sure its got much to do with their âworking class credentialsâ or us being a particularly classy club.
But I could be wrong.
Youâre not wrong.
We need to introduce a levy on PL TV deals right now

To be fair, the pack of profit is probably just as much creative accounting to make it look that way as actually not making much money.
Am I fuck believing the PL clubs arenât making profits what with these TV deals.
And you know how much Kopites and Liverpool like to build themselves up as this great club and community club, well Iâd say paying tax and helping their community comes under that.
Donât care whether they can and donât pay tax, but they have been found out as all talk.
Well I totally agree with that.
But it all comes down to whether or not they are being creative with their accounting or not for me, when assessing whether you are being fair or not.
Somehow I donât think that Kroenke and his senior employees wouldnât be artfully avoiding corporation tax if they could do it, just like you think Liverpool are. Iâd be hugely shocked if they could get away with not paying that thirty million in tax but decided out of the good of their hearts that paying it is simply the right thing to do.

Shouldnât tax be based on revenue rather than profit?
No you pay corporation tax based on taxable profits.
Most businesses are trying NOT to pay taxes⌠typically smaller partnerships distribute (pay out) money in order to avoid taxes⌠once you have enough reserves, it is stupid to put yourself in position to pay taxes.
With larger corporates, it is more complicated and obviously there are more ways to defer/avoid taxes, but the same basic premise applies⌠if you think about it, it makes sense⌠if I invest in a new factory (leaving aside the capitalization rules and depreciation for the moment), you wouldnât want to pay taxes on revenues that allowed you to reinvest in the company, right? Or pay new employees? Plus, as money is spent, a large portion eventually finds its ways into wages, dividends, etc. that ARE taxed.

yup we are, its not that we cannot afford to spend it is the wages but that will change for the better in summer. Anyway there aint much out there that can change a squad dramatically in January anyway. I feel we will see a lot of change in summerâŚi would be surprised if we dont.
Tottenham not far behind us in terms of revenue. Guess itâs not too much of a surprise considering theyâve consistently been getting champions league football for a few years now
Itâs not going to be much different next season when we lose players like Ramsey and Welbeck for nothing and will have to replace them.
We have too many players leaving for free and we pay too much in wages to fringe players who arenât worth it.
How can a multi million pound organisation be so financially clueless?
Is our massive revenue hit the last 24 months solely due to our absence of Champions League Football ?
I thought last season we made basically CL money in the EL because of some TV deal loophole where the 5 CL clubs shared a pool of money whereas we took all the EL money? I think it was a fluke rather than a guarantee but still.

This has really fucked us. Why did we agree to Emirates exclusively. Getting a training kit sponsor would have been some extra money
