Simona Halep will lose a large part of the prize money at Wimbledon on charges

After reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon, Simona Halep has not only gone WTA points in London, but with a huge check from the organizers. She will remain with only half of the £ 440,000. Specifically, Simona gets just £ 242,000 after paying taxes in United Kingdom. The British had one of the most drastic tax systems in Europe, so Simona had to pay £ 198,000 in prize state. The very drastic tax rate is a huge problem for sport in the UK in recent years. Therefore Rafael Nadal refused to participate in some editions of the Queen's tournament. "I would have gone to waste some money," said him. Usain Bolt boycotted the stage of the Diamond League in London too, for the same reason. Finally, the British tax rate decreased from 50 to 45%.
