• Club owe HMRC £1.9m in tax and handed £1.25m penalty

• Relates to investigation of transfers under Mike Ashley

Newcastle United have been hit with a demand for £3.2m from HM Revenue and Customs over a “deliberate” failure to pay tax, according to official disclosures that relate to a near decade-long investigation into player transfers under the club’s former owner, Mike Ashley.

The Tyneside club, which has been owned by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund since 2021, owes HMRC £1.9m in tax and has also been hit with a penalty of £1.25m, the newly released documents show. The bill emerged as a result of the tax authority’s regular publication of a league table of “deliberate tax defaulters”, with Newcastle United featuring at the top of the most recent list, released on Thursday.

SPIELBERG (ANP) - Max Verstappen is recordhouder met vier zeges in de Grote Prijs van Oostenrijk, maar een vijfde zege in zijn andere 'thuisrace' ligt niet voor de hand. De Red Bull van de viervoudig wereldkampioen in de Formule 1 presteert dit seizoen ondermaats vergeleken met de grote concurrenten Mercedes en Ferrari. De Nederlander hoopt dat zijn auto met een upgrade weer iets beter gaat presteren.

"Als je ver achterligt, is het wat makkelijker om stappen vooruit te zetten. De moeilijkste stap is altijd de laatste, om echt voor de overwinning te strijden", zei Verstappen tijdens de mediadag op het circuit van Spielberg, eigendom van Red Bull. Jaarlijks bezoeken duizenden fans van de Nederlandse coureur de Grote Prijs van Oostenrijk.

"Het is altijd belangrijk voor mij geweest om hier goed te presteren, juist ook omdat er zoveel Nederlandse fans komen. Laten we hopen dat deze upgrade ons wat oplevert, dat we dat beetje extra hebben gevonden om weer mee te doen in de strijd vooraan."
