Sharon takes blame for mammoth Osbourne tax bill

Sharon Osbourne has blamed herself for her and husband Ozzy’s outstanding tax bill of $1.7m (€1.2m).

Despite initially accusing her accountant of failing to notify her of the $718,948.25 (€495,000) owed for the 2008 tax year, and $1,024,175.03 (€705,815) for 2009, Sharon has now admitted she had spent too much time focusing on herself recently and didn’t realise her finances were in disarray.
