Manchester City Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini registers image rights in tax haven Guernsey move could see Chilean exploit favourable tax rates on any earnings from his commercial image Guernsey move could see Manuel Pellegrini exploit favourable tax rates on any earnings from his commercial image Commercial plan: Manuel Pellegrini lodged the application to register his image rights last month Photo: ACTION IMAGES Mark Ogden By Mark Ogden 8:02PM BST 09 Oct 2013 Follow Comments Comments Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has taken the unusual step of applying to register his image rights on the Channel Island of Guernsey. Pellegrini, who left his position as Malaga manager to succeed Roberto Mancini at the Etihad Stadium at the end of last season, lodged the application through the Finsbury Image Rights company last month. While City officials have insisted that the issue is a personal matter and unrelated to the club, the move could see the 60-year-old Chilean exploit favourable tax rates should any royalties for the use of his commercial image be deposited through a Guernsey-based company rather than being subject to a 50 per cent tax rate in the UK. If the individual concerned is not a Guernsey resident, the income will not be subject to income tax, local taxes or VAT, while corporation tax is charged at a rate of zero per cent. City could also forgo Pellegrini's UK National Insurance contributions should any image rights be paid via Guernsey.

Uefa forced the club to stage their home game against Viktoria Plzen in St Petersburg last week after recent heavy rain in Moscow damaged the pitch at CSKA's Khimki Arena. However, the owners of the Khimki Arena have vowed to repair the playing surface in time for the City game on Oct 23. It has become a pivotal fixture in the group D, with the two clubs joint-second on three points each. Uefa is due to inspect the Khimki Arena this week. If the pitch is deemed unplayable, CSKA have identified as an alternative venue the city of Krasnodar, which is 750 miles south of Moscow. The return fixture is at the Etihad Stadium on Nov 5.
