Italy is one of the European countries that most encourage the arrival of large professional footballers from abroad, drawn by a fiscal regime that guarantees them an exception of 50 per cent on the tax base.
This is what comes out of the study, titled "The Tax of Professional Football in the EU," published by the European Parliament and requested by the Eurodhoma Fiscal Affairs Committee.
Tax exemption regimes implemented by several EU countries “allow players (and indirect clubs) to enjoy part of their tax-free salary” and therefore “optimise the tax base of players”, the authors of the study write.
“It is fair to say that the Italian tax regime is one of the most attractive for the leading foreign players”, Professor Robby Houben of the University of Antep, one of the authors of the study on tax regimes in the seven EU countries that have major football competitions, explained: Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal.
