Premier League clubs had £124.8million claimed back from them in unpaid tax by HMRC investigators in the most recent financial year.
Accoring to figures compiled by accountancy group UHY Hacker Young, this was more than double the £58.7million claimed in the previous year.
The staggering amount was made up of payments including National Insurance on agents' fees and image rights, as well as tax on benefits in kind.
Benefits in kind included arrangements made for players and their families by clubs, including flights and hotels.
It had previously been suggested that Premier League sides had avoided paying £250million in tax by using dual representaition contracts when paying agents.
