AFL agent turned soccer boss’ legal and tax troubles threaten Western United rescue deal
@Source: theage.com.au
Former top AFL player agent turned A-League boss Jason Sourasis is fighting a series of business battles that could scupper a rescue deal for his financially embattled club Western United, which has been late paying player wages again.
This masthead can reveal that Sourasis has been hit with a near $3 million personal tax bill via a director penalty notice from the ATO for unpaid taxes across six of his businesses, including the companies underpinning the A-League finalists.
The tax office is also seeking to have liquidators appointed to five of those entities, including the football club. Sourasis is contesting those claims.
Sourasis’ business partner at Western United, former Socceroos star Steve Horvat, has also been hit with a $10 million personal tax bill from the ATO.
