Tens of millions of euros in tax evasion in four years. This time around, what does not pay what is owed to the Madrid crates is Colombian singer Shakira, wife of Catalan football player Gerard Pique, who is accused of fraud by the Taxation Agency for the 2011 period in 2014.
According to the Spanish daily “La Vanguardia” is a subject for years during which the singer lived in Spain, where there was still no official residence.
According to tax inspectors, even at that time Shakira had remained in Barcelona for more than 183 days a year and was therefore obliged to pay taxes in the country.
Those who work with Shakira speak of a change of values rather than tax fraud. “has been used by a different technique”, lawyers say.
The star's profits come mainly from concerts held abroad, but Spanish taxes claim that taxes for that period of Shakira should pay Madrid.
According to the magazine “Formes”, between 2010 and 2015, Shakira has earned about 25m euros annually from its tour abroad. Many fans of the singer claim that it is a revenge of Spanish taxes. The charge could, however, cost a Colombian singer, who risks a salt fine, two years in prison.
