Cristiano Ronaldo's
management agency/ legal team have released tax documents showing the
footballer earned £191m in 2015, over £500,000 per day, £3.7m a week
and £15.9m
a month- after a French paper alleged recently that the Real Madrid star
avoided paying tax to Spanish authorities by using offshore companies in the
British Virgin Islands.
According to the tax
documents, released by Gestifute- the Sports agency owned by Super agent Jorge
Mendes,
1. Ronaldo has
always co operated with Spanish tax authorities and has never hidden tax
records.
2. The 31-year-old
Portugal international declared just €23.5m (£19.8m) of income from inside
Spain, where he works with Real Madrid and made €203.7m (£171m) from other
countries.
The company's
statement titled 'Model 720' read:
'This document
confirms that Spain's Tax Agency is knowledgeable of all of Cristiano Ronaldo's
assets and income. From now on, the player will not make any further statement
on this subject.
'As reported in
recent days, the player has been aware of his tax obligations right away from
the beginning of his professional career in all of the countries in which he
has resided, and has not and has never had any issue with the tax authorities
of any of those countries.
'This communication,
which was not required by law, constitutes irrefutable proof that Cristiano
Ronaldo and his representatives are in good faith and cooperate with the
authorities in a spirit of transparency and compliance with legality.'
Earlier this month
Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho were accused of avoiding paying tax on
millions of dollars of earnings by channelling money abroad, according to
claims based on a huge document leak. They allegedly moved large sums to the
British Virgin
