"Gary Lineker has won his multi-year battle against HMRC, having been wrongly accused by HMRC of underpaying £4.9m in tax. The first-tier tax tribunal hearing for Gary Lineker's case was heard by Judge John Brooks on 18/19 Jan 2023, who released his decision on 28th March 2023 – the appeal was upheld, meaning HMRC were wrong to pursue him. Notably, the judge acknowledged that Lineker had paid all his taxes, saying: "For each tax year, Mr Lineker accounted for income tax and Class 4 NIC on the entirety of the income from his services, less a fixed amount of £30,000, paid to his then wife, Ms Bux (and on which she paid tax)."
