A spokesperson for Stocklytics added: "If you are a resident in the UK you have to pay tax on overseas earnings in the same way, and that remains the same no matter how much someone might earn.
"Good tax advice is always important and in this case you can be sure the Fury camp will have looked at an agreement that would be the most beneficial. You can offset some money by making a charitable donation, and there is a suggestion
