75 million left British media: Chelsea Club World Cup prize of 85 million pounds, and the United States collects 10 million taxes

July 16th According to the British media "City Morning Post", after winning the Club World Cup, Chelsea faces a US tax bill of about 10 million pounds.

After winning the Club World Cup, Chelsea received a total of £85 million in prize money, of which about £39.7 million will be paid immediately and £45.3 million will be paid at the end of next season, but the U.S. tax authorities will regard the income as taxable income.

Although FIFA has won US tax exemption for the 2026 World Cup, the same tax exemption was not obtained for the Club World Cup held a year earlier. Therefore, all participating clubs are subject to a series of city taxes, state taxes and ticket sales taxes, and Chelsea faces the largest amount of tax payments.

The US state tax rates vary significantly between states. Chelsea won the Club World Cup semi-finals and finals at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, with £55 million in two games, and the state's state tax is among the highest tax rates in the United States. Ticket sales tax rates vary across the United States, ranging from about 4% to 7%.
