Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah have been listed among the United Kingdom’s 100 biggest taxpayers. The recognition comes from the latest Sunday Times Tax List, which highlights individuals who make the largest tax contributions to the UK economy. Their inclusion reflects the huge earnings of top Premier League footballers and their financial impact beyond the pitch.
Haaland, one of the world’s most in-demand forwards, reportedly earns about £500,000 per week, in addition to roughly £10 million in annual bonuses. At just 25 years old, the Norwegian international is ranked 72nd on the list and is said to be paying around £16.9 million in taxes each year. His success at Manchester City has clearly translated into major financial responsibilities.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah also featured prominently on the list. The Egyptian winger earns close to £400,000 per week and receives bonuses estimated at £10 million annually. Ranked 81st, the 33-year-old is reportedly contributing about £14.5 million in taxes to the UK government, underlining his long-standing value both to his club and to the wider economy.
The list is topped by business figures, including gambling and finance executives, who pay hundreds of millions of pounds in taxes each year. While footballers do not dominate the very top positions, the presence of Haaland and Salah shows how elite sports stars rank among the country’s biggest earners and taxpayers.
