MILLIONAIRE Premier League star Oleksandr Zinchenko has been handed a £300,000 tax bill, just months after losing a court battle with HMRC which was chasing him for an unpaid sum.
The Arsenal defender has been handed the whopping bill for outstanding corporation tax.
GettyOleksandr Zinchenko has been whacked with a huge tax bill[/caption]The bill was revealed after the star placed his image rights firm into voluntary liquidation this week.
The company channelled some of his lucrative earnings from a hugely successful career which includes four Premier League titles with Manchester City before a £30million move to the Gunners.
Tax officials wanted to close Alex Zinchenko Image Rights at a High Court hearing in February, over an unpaid tax bill.
But representatives for the star promised the bill would be settled.
No figures of the tax owed were made public at the hearing, which lasted only a few minutes.
Zinchenko has also been handed a £35,000 bill from his accountants handling his tax affairs.
The 28-year-old changed the name of the image rights firm to Ozir Limited in July.
Zinchenko earns a reported £150,000 a week at the Emirates – meaning it will take him just two weeks to earn enough to settle the bill.

HMRC began the action to wind up the company in September last year.
But at the hearing in London earlier this year, the court heard a settlement had been reached.
Zinchenko was a director of the company and owned the company’s only share until November 3, when fellow director Artemijs Rjabovs, an official who works for the Ukrainian FA took over.
