Carragher avoids bankruptcy after settling tax bill
The former Liverpool defender settled the tax debt before the hearing, and HMRC said no figure was given in court.
- On Tuesday, Judge Nicholas Briggs dismissed a bankruptcy petition against former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher at the Insolvency and Companies Court after Carragher settled an unpaid tax bill with HM Revenue and Customs.
- HMRC representative Kevin Hassan confirmed in London that Carragher had paid the outstanding debt in full before the hearing concluded. The bankruptcy petition, issued in August, does not automatically declare an individual bankrupt.
- No specific debt figure was disclosed during the hearing, though reports previously estimated the amount between £700,000 and £800,000. A spokesperson for Carragher called it a 'private tax matter' that 'should have been resolved sooner.'
- Carragher, a former Liverpool defender who retired in 2013 after 737 appearances, has established himself as a prominent football pundit for Sky Sports and CBS Sports. His legal matter is now resolved.
- With the petition dismissed, Carragher continues his media presence, including his partnership with former Manchester United captain Gary Neville on 'Monday Night Football.' His broadcasting career remains uninterrupted.
