Cristiano Ronaldo to get extra £1.3m after tax cuts with average top-flight pay going up £240k

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to rake in an extra £1.3million annually following the new tax and National Insurance cuts announced by the Government, according to reports.

The UK Government has revealed that the cut of the highest rate of tax will drop from 45 to 40 per cent, which will come as music to the ears of Premier League footballers.

On average, top-flight stars already collect an estimated £4million per year after tax - according to The Times - but that figure will now increase on the back of the tax cuts and national insurance changes.
