New York ? The Boston Red Sox got an extra bill after winning the World Series.

Boston and Anaheim must pay baseball’s luxury tax along with the New York Yankees, according to final figures compiled by the commissioner’s office.

The Yankees are required to pay $25,026,352, according to a Dec. 21 memorandum that was sent to all major league teams. Boston owes $3,155,234 for exceeding the payroll threshold of $120.5 million and Anaheim got a bill for $927,059.

Checks for the competitive-balance tax, as it is formally known, are due at the commissioner’s office by Jan. 31.

“The CBT is now an important part of baseball’s economic landscape,” Red Sox owner John Henry said in an e-mail Monday. “From my perspective, even though it costs us, the stronger the CBT is in the future, the stronger the sport is going to be.”

If the Yankees go over the 2005 threshold of $128 million, which appears certain, they would be taxed at a 40 percent rate.
