Well... Just do the maths and I guess its the right time to
go considering the new tax rate of 50% comes into play in
April...
Going to Barce in the new season will see him get tax only 23%.
Somemore with a higher weekly salary of €120k a week compare to
what he is getting now roughly on around $80k weekly... So I
guess its a no brainer to stay... cos even if the "Beckham rule"
was to be abolish in Spain, he will still be tax at only 40% of his
new improve salary... compare this to his lower pay
at $80k and higher taxation in England... The wife also becomes a
convenient piece of excuse...
We just have to assume he gets €120k a week at Barce, after 23%
tax he will still take home = €92 400.
Even if after 40% tax, he still takes home = €72 000.
At Pool, he currently gets around pounds $80k, after current 40%
tax, he takes home $48k a week... But if its 50% tax... It wll mean
he takes back $40k a week only...
So which ever way you look at it, its still a good deal to go
unless Pool give him a big pay raise cos the pounds and the euros
are almost about the same this days...
