Great to see a tax exile collect

you clearly have an issue with this subject TheSpin'...having said similar yesterday about JP and Trevor Hemm'...both employ hundreds and put millions into the game...give it a rest imo..

After all the favours he did punters with Binocular good to see he has things going his way again ... makes racing what it is.

Well done McCoy though great jockey.

Sour grapes. Well deserved for JP.

Better they keep it and spend it than give it to a Govt imo!

how did jp makes his millions n e 1 know

overseas you are right, JP is salt of the earth

jp first started as a gambler then went into bookmaking at local dog track and then some hi profile gambles. Makes alot of money speculating on currency fluctuations.

Digger driver,Bookie ,Gambler Money trader,fair play to him .

wmd is correct
he makes the majority of his money now on the markets not from horses, its just a bit of fun for him

And where is he exiled from?

Hope your not suggesting that he should be paying Darlings tax.

who can blame the tax exiles - the top 5% of earners pay nearly HALF the tax

and govt wants to make it even more

pr ick

Makes alot of money speculating on currency fluctuations.

does he come across as a genius iyo?

Probably spent more wedge in Limerick that either the council or the government. Why line the pockets of Dail with his tax when he can put money to good use!l

where does he mostly live then?

He got up to some great tricks in his time as a bookie.

geneva, spends millions in limerick and is very generous with local charities

I think he is based in switzeland,
Have you seen teh gaff he is building in ireland, SISK constructiona re building it.......100million euros

To be exact, JP made most of his money trading 'futures'

spinelessmaster pathetic just pathetic - he gives his old horses a happy retirement at Martinstown (in Ireland that is) where do you suppose he should be paying his taxes ?

calm down lad.

tax havens like betfair gather the dregs of society

Lovely man just ask Alex Ferguson.

The Spinmaster WAC you are :^0 :^0 :^0

yeah, cos fergie comes across as a real good egg.

DGC - I can't believe the amount of people who defend how much the rich pay in tax. Those moaning about having to pay 50% on anything over 150,000 a year must be living on another planet. As you say 5% paying the most tax but 95% of the population living on thin air after essentials. The rich have a terrible way of trying to justify their extremely fortunate financial situations. Most of them get round the tax bands via corporation tax and other such get outs. Personally if i earned more than 150 grand a year i'd be moaning about very little financially speaking. Perhaps JP should launch a singing career then he wouldn't be paying much tax at all under Irish law.

a singing career lol

Any prices for an AP sports personality and JP eurovision double?

having said similar yesterday about JP and Trevor Hemm'...both employ hundreds

Who does JP employ?

If you want to see a likeable owner win a big race, you're in for a long wait.

No fan of JP McManus, but delighted for McCoy.

im a jp fan,imho the man can do no wrong.

Get Real: No fan of JP McManus: why not? just curious .....

Ballyhackcharmer,

Well, seeing as I AM a fan of David Beckham and various other people who in my view have amassed fortunes by dint of hard work and providing entertainment to the public, you can rule out jealousy over wealth as my motive.

I'll leave it at that - we can all like or dislike who we please.

How many trainers does JP have horses with? It must be a fair few.

Remarkable interest in the Irish economy on here!!, even though tis a racing forum.

Jealousy (NAP)

as ap said in his interview nobody puts more into national hunt racing than jp,well done i say.
