David and Victoria Beckham handed the taxman £22,000 a day after netting more than £11million each through their global business empire. 

According to the latest figures, the couple and their business partner Simon Fuller - who previously managed the Spice Girls - paid Inland Revenue some £8million in 2015 - or £153,000 a week.

And accounts from 2015, filed last month, reveal the couple paid themselves a generous dividend of more than £30,000 a day from their company Beckham Brand Holdings.

The business owned by David, 41, brought in almost £37million in 2015, through advertising deals with the likes of Breitling watches and Haig Club whisky.

By contrast, 42-year-old Posh’s high-end clothing brand is making multi-million pound losses and is £21million in debt – so much so, that David’s firm and the parent company have given guarantees to the bank that they will repay millions of borrowings if she can’t make the payments.

The couple run separate commercial operations, both of which are owned by the parent company, Beckham Brand Holdings.

The company employs more than 140 members of staff who were paid some £8million last year. 

The former England football star’s business, David Beckham Ventures, which was set up in 2014 to capitalise on his brand, made a staggering £36.6million profits in 2015.

VICTORIA BECKHAM LTD 

While her husband's business netted some £36.6million profits in 2015, it is a very different story at Victoria's high-end clothing business, Victoria Beckham Ltd, set up in 2008.

The former Spice Girl suffered losses of £4.6million in 2015 and her firm has £21million of debt on its books.

Regardless of their very different business performance, the couple have equal shares in Beckham Brand Holdings, each owning a third.

Music impresario Simon Fuller, who acted as a Svengali to the Spice Girls, has the other one-third share.

Beckham Brand Holdings made nearly £32million profit in 2015, almost all of which was thanks to David’s earnings.

The company paid a dividend of £23.1million in 2015 and another £10.2million last year, adding up to £33.3million, or just over £11million for each of the trio. 

As well as his generosity over dividends, David is subsidising his wife’s design ambitions to the tune of millions of pounds by underwriting her debts.

Beckham Brand Holdings has pledged to guarantee more than £6million of Mrs Beckham’s commercial borrowings.
