I wounder if he’s got any snide comments about this topic for us?

Just like Uber drivers are not self employed Gary Lineker pretending to be self employed when working for the BBC is also very wrong. But for totally different reasons. He should legally be treated as a BBC employee, not self employed to reduce his earnings & the tax he pays.

Gaslighting and misinformation What about Tory leader in Scotland Douglas4Moray doing two jobs

I found a legit website were you can make $300 per day from your cellphone. PAYS INSTANTLY! All you need is a cell phone or a computer. So far I have made $32,800 in the last 5 days of doing this. Join this link below 👇👇👇 klavaMineeva

Shameful reporting. Absolute BS. This is just what every single limited company does. He pays tax on the money he takes out of his media company. All the Tory cuckolds on here with their own businesses do the same.

Don’t WALKER way from your responsibilities Gary .. you need to pay up Lad ...

Typical leftie ball sack. Is this any surprise.

That’s made my day hope he’s made to pay every penny back.

Jail is the answer for him

Oh No his Halo is falling apart!

ShedHender LozzaFox GaryLineker

The BBC give Gary Lineker £1.75million a year of tax payers money. Lineker then cheats on paying tax.

Come on HMRC do your stuff.

gersdavid0 Jail him

Anything to do with crisps should not be taxed, they are the most delicious of snacks. Gary is quite right not to pay.

He needs to cough up ..slime bag

Maybe they could go after the massive tax avoiding companies while they're at it.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving person IMO

Where’s that refugee he’s taking in ?

He should emigrate ... bye bye Garry!

When a NHS worker gets paid loose change, this man talks and gets over paid, he only talks they save lives😱👍❤️😃

GaryLineker

Oh dear .

Time to pay up big boy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Claps for the nhs but doesn’t wanna pay his contribution towards them 😡

As I said yesterday hahaha ...🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

More corruption from the ‘woke’,?...this time it is GaryLineker....they say one thing and do another. Not surprised after what he did to his wife.

jon_british Let's hope there's penalties!!

Let’s hope he only has to pay £4.6M

😲 GaryLineker dear o

Thousands have stopped trading with their own companies due to IR 35 All those freelancers employed by the BBC should be subject to this also As should footballers

Blo*dy Socialists not paying their fair share..

Nail the bastard. 👊🏻

I like Gary ,but that’s what it means freelance,you invoice to get paid,and you invoice yourself again to pay yourself possibly in tax havens,is common practice at bbc and others,shame because this people earn mil £ (Amazon and FB sindrome)and middle class pays for everybody

Tut tut. Pay you're bill luvvy.

nixs6 Couldn’t happen to a nicer person!!!

Let's just make the champagne socialist GaryLineker work for the BBC/us for free! And we will pay HMRC directly. So we can bounce him around and make him dance when we feel bored! How would feel about about working on CBeebies!

Well it about time he gets to much of the the licence fee on the back of who cannot afford to pay!

Get your tax bill paid Gary mate, lot of out of work drug dealing layabouts are waiting to get paid

£4.9million that could help many less fortunate than Gary.

Why are people surprised, he’s just another self righteous tax dodging celeb

Lock him up

This you GaryLineker hun?

Pay your taxes, then more children can have school meals 🤬🤬🤬

Just pay what they agree with Gary,it will cost mega bucks through the courts.

Ahh....so the socialist Leaning presenter doesn’t want to pay tax that’s due to society.....oh the irony.

Is he getting his ears in a flap?

dolphin9333 391 Retweets on this Tweet. Hardly any of them in favour of Linekers’ situation. Shows the disdain people have for this oaf.

Time2change17 hope he has more luck getting through to them than anyone else who has a tax issue.

He's a tit. Hope he gets what he deserves 😁

AndyWells7 Lock him up Lock him up Lock him up

Of course it's a total coincidence that of all the thousands of freelancers in the land employed in this way, HMRCgovuk wants to go after the pro-EU, pro-refugee, GaryLineker..

Macetrain And he criticises the government over NHS pay. bbc remove this overpaid fool.

Just as long as he doesn’t expect a pay rise from the BBC to cover the cost of his tax bill !

People like Gary Lineker and Gary Neville are true blood suckers of our beautiful game... they are no different from Glazers 🙄

That's a lot of crisps GaryLineker

Whoopy. Gazza HMRC may let you spread payments over the next tax year

Give him the highest tax rate. 😉

Crisp nonce

Runs in the family.

Sweating more than his brother when he lost his laptop

If their was ever a picture of a champagne socialist…

Typical champagne socialist.

What a shame !

😂

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

How sad!,,

Tax avoidance by this hypocrite GaryLineker How many free school meals; social care or nurses would his tax avoidance pay for?

Fuck me how many packets of crisps has he sold on the black market.

Leopards and spots come to mind .

Will have to put the rent up for your immigrant living in Your house 😂

👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣

& he didnt donate to my GoFundMe...... how out of order the multi million lineker is 😂

All that tax would fund the wages for a lot of front line NHS staff.

IR35 continues to blight freelancers. This will be an interesting case. HMRC have a great habbit of losing these cases in court and wasting taxpayers money....

Lock him up 🤣

Thought it would be his brother that got done for fiddling first.

GussyJackson Typical socialist

The man is a complete utter greedy KNOB... how many millions does one man need for not doing much.

Lock him up. A fine doesn’t effect these kind of ignorant people who think they can do what they want.

Greed the more they get the more.......

I hope he is guilty

ANOTHER champagne socialist dodging tax!!! Never!!

Don’t really know much about him other than didn’t he never receive even a yellow card during his football career? There must be some sense of fair play in there then. So why spoil that with greed Gary? Haven’t you got enough to pay your fair share? 😞

Jail him

tonypierson2

Gary Lineker...the pinnacle of middle class socialism

Oh no I am gutted to hear this....LOL

Jail that prick 🙌

GhostOfGrandad Bwahahahahaha

BrexitFutureUK Some Tax Advisers would suggest that a large portion of his earnings were as an employee and not self employment. What odds are the Bookies giving.

Oops!

Mr Lineker's agent, defended his client's actions. He said: “It is a question of whether he is employed by the BBC or not.' No it's not. It's a question of whether he paid tax on the money he received.

can he no just liquidate himself and come back as The Gary Linaker ?

photomikeyhere Good couldn’t of happened to a nicer bloke

He must have sold a lot of crisps.

Oh dear how sad.... ....never mind 🤣

witherjay Didn’t the complete leftard GaryLineker say he would gladly pay taxes. Typical of the current leftwing.

Bless.... his little cotton socks 🤣🤣🤣

Good

Prison is far too good for him! Make him pay every penny back and bankrupt him if he can’t.

Oh no. Not THAT Gary Lineker. The Gary Lineker who spends his time sneering at others!

Fantastic!

Another millionaire socialist tax avoider

Imprison him in a Calais camp and if he comes out in one piece he can pay a huge fine.

Again?!

BrexitFutureUK About time..

But but but socialism and equality and paying your fair share and immigration and all of that hey Gary ?

Gary when they said a donation to the Tories could help you out they really meant it. Now look at the mess ! Oh and you can forget the knighthood too 🤣

Haha brilliant

Buy a plane and put it in your expenses 😅

But he employed by BBC so IR35 clearly applies. He can’t do his role from home etc.

And he was acting all on his high horse last week about Utd fans attitude towards the Yanks...

Damn. Maybe he should just go offshore to avoid tax like half the Conservative party donors do.

Brilliant - silly twat he is

robertsessford1 Couldn’t happen to a nicer person

😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well GaryLineker does have previous.. so wouldn't be surprised..
