So Mourinho has been at it with the taxes along with Ronaldo. It's not just Messi and the Barca players, so those who took the moral high ground on the latter are eating sour grapes now eh. ;)

I'd be surprised to find out that any individual based in Spain in football related employment is paying the right amount of tax at this rate.

The accountants these guys had must've thought they'd found a loophole as it was all happening around the same time. Obviously not.

Good, it's not like they weren't earning enough to make ends meet.

Indeed, it's sickening that multi-millionaires look to avoid paying the tax rates like the rest of us. Pure greed.

To be fair, they have to pay more (I think) so you can (sort of) understand why.

Fuck off, like you wouldn't avoid tax if you could get away with it.

Really epic? Ronaldo must be worth 500 mill net, are you telling me that's not enough money for dozens of lifetimes. When you have multiple houses, cars and yachts, what more do you need materialistically?

I'm not saying it's a good reason, I'm saying it's a reason. Ronaldo probably has to pay much more than anyone else and I'm guessing that the reason he didn't pay his taxes was that he (wrongly) felt that it was unfair.

So your only a leftie if it suits you? Sounds more like a tory to me. :£
:lol: I pay no tax anyway right now, but that's not the point.

I wouldn't mind paying my dues to a government who gave a shit about its people, the current one does not fit that description!

You don't pay tax to the government, you pay it to society. The government decides how it's spent unfortunately.

Tax is the price you pay for civilization.

Of course rich people avoid it, rampantly*, but it's a socially unacceptable and irresponsible thing to do.

And yes the government wastes tax on many areas, mostly military, but that's what you get from democracy.

These Spanish cases are somewhat unusual as even Mourinho, far more intelligent than the other high profile accused, will have little to no understanding of tax law and will be doing what an adviser tells him.

The Spanish tax adviser to the rich community will be reeling at these allegations. Good.


*It's empirically a far more significant issue than, say, benefit fraud but attracts far less vitriol.

The fat man is obviously informing Ruth Davidson by sign language where to go. He has been taking lessons from Pete Wishart by the looks of it.

Fucking hell stop debating taxes in the Mourinho thread.

Everybody must pay, everybody is responsible for their own tax. There are no mitigating circumstances such as disliking the government or hiring 20 accountants so you don't even know what's happening. Pay taxes on the money you earn. Simple. Done. Over and out.

I dont believe anyone should have to pay taxes. Just get the bus instead.

Not even 2 full seasons and Mourinho has turned Theater of Dreams into Warehouse of Shame!

Three trophies and leading the race behind a formidable City side?

After spending so much money they are pretty much nothing trophies. Don't think Mou was hired to win those "trophies." I think we can all agree City are the title winners now. But my main point was regarding Mou dragging the United name through the mud with his antics.
