Mo Salah has had to hand over £14.5m to the Treasury in the past year, according to the newly-published Sunday Times Tax List.
The Liverpool forward is ranked second among the highest tax-paying footballers in the UK, with his £400,000-a-week basic salary, plus an estimated £10m in bonuses and additional payments, resulting in a tax bill of £14.5m.
Only Man City striker Erling Haaland paid more in terms of footballers. The Norwegian is the highest ranked football star in the list after contributing £16.9m in the past 12 months, fuelled by a basic wage of more than £500,000 per week and at least £10m in image rights and bonuses.
It’s the first time ever two footballers have broken into the overall top 100, which covers the highest taxpayers across music, finance, business and the arts. Haaland is 72nd in the main list, with Salah at number 81.
The list has been released as millions met the January self-assessment deadline and ranks the top 100 people paying the most UK tax.
