Ignoring clever accounting their tax rates are higher than ours

23% and 43% bands at fairly similar levels to us.

But footballers don't pay anywhere near that in tax. Will be nearer 9-10% of what they earn if in the UK due to various schemes. Probably similar Italy too where there is even more hidden from the tax man
