Cristiano Ronaldo asks for a refund from Irpef of 4-5 million euros

Cristiano Ronaldo has attempted to obtain a refund of Irpef for a sum between 4 and 5 million euros. These are taxes already regularly paid by the Portuguese champion during the period in which he played for Juventus, but which – according to the request he presented – would be the result of an incorrect interpretation of what is due to the State with respect to the law which offers some tax privileges to those who – against a certain income – move to Italy.

LITIGATION

—

CR7 made use of the support of a team of top-level tax and legal experts, in order to make its management of Italian taxes flawless: the dispute revolves around image rights for activities carried out abroad, which – according to the consultants of the Portuguese attacker – for a broader interpretation of the rule they would be linked to a facilitated taxation, since the law allows – those who move to Italy – to pay a lump sum of 100 thousand euros (which is reduced to 25 per family members) for all income produced abroad. However, the appeal against the Revenue Agency was rejected twice, with a negative opinion, by the Court of Tax Justice of Piedmont: now the dispute will move to the Court of Cassation.
