UK lawmakers were told that HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has been contacted regarding potential tax implications arising from Manchester City's financial rule breaches.
The disclosure came during proceedings in the UK Parliament, where officials raised the question of whether the club's breaches could have implications for its tax obligations.
Scrutiny over financial breaches
Manchester City has faced scrutiny in recent seasons over alleged financial rule breaches, with the club previously brought before an independent panel in connection with the Premier League's associated party transaction and financial fair play rules.
It remains unclear what specific tax issues HMRC might be examining, or what conclusions, if any, have so far been reached regarding the club's financial affairs.
Manchester City has previously denied wrongdoing in connection with the financial breach allegations it has faced from the Premier League.
The Parliamentary discussion adds a new dimension to the ongoing scrutiny of the club's finances, extending the issue beyond football governance bodies to UK tax authorities.
