It follows analysis of football agents being paid to represent both players and clubs in transfers.

Premier League football clubs may have avoided paying £250m in tax over a three-year period, financial experts have estimated.

However, tax officials are investigating the use of so-called "dual representation contracts", which sees an agent paid for acting for both the player and the club involved in the deal. However, the amount of tax due falls to about 30% of the payment, if the fee is split between the player and the club using dual representation.

"Guidance that's a bit weak isn't really good enough," she said. "You need to have a real clarity about exactly what the position is so that every club does the same thing. You can't have one club doing it and getting away with it and another not."In April 2021, HMRC issued fresh guidance on the use of dual representation which said it would need clubs to keep evidence that agents are legitimately working for both sides of the contract.
