But we know roughly what he makes. Let's say he's paying 50% tax in Germany, for the sake of argument.Originally posted by Bunk View PostNo, he's, yet again, trying to boast about how much he makes.
His tax bill is Euro 30K, by his own admission, so he's on about the same amount take-home.
Maybe a bit more say Euro 40K/50K.
For a ginger poly-boy from the Gorbals that's a lot of cash.Hard Brexit now!
