look like modric-life begins again
I'm afraid it is very possible - considering the amount of time he's avoided tax, and pleaded not guilty. Unlikely, but definitely a possibility
look like modric-life begins again
With this case the maximum penalty is a suspended sentence of around 12-18 months.
__________________________________________
Bearing in mind the sum that should have been paid in tax, which is around £100,000 then the sentencing guidelines are much higher, more like 4-6 years in prison if mitigating facts are not good enough.
The fact he is pleading not guilty also has a bearing if he is found guilty and also how premediated the evasion was.
So not sure where you got 12-18 months suspended from.
Here's the best outcome:
Harry's found guilty and given a suspended and a fine. This gives the FA cold feet and they give the job to Roy Hodgson. Harry appeals and the verdict is overturned about a couple of weeks after Roy starts his new job.
Its all my fault, if only I had given him better advise
It's not your fault - he's been lying to you for years!
I can't see how the amount owed should affect the length of sentance.
If I was to owe £100k in tax that means that I probably haven't paid tax for something like a decade. Yet for someone like Rooney it could just be a week.
It would be easy to make an error on tax for a weeks money than it would for a decade.
12-18 months suspended.
You're wrong.
He can get anything from 6 months to 1 year in prison. It definitely cannot be suspended, if thats the case Lester Piggot would have got a suspended sentence for tax evasion..he served 13 months of a 3 year sentence.
Lester Piggot failed to declare £3.25m in earning.....that is serial tax evasion, and not just a one off.
Harry may have deliberately stuck that money away (yet to be proved) but he will have paid millions in tax that same year...so a one off!
