On Tuesday, Spain’s Supreme Court confirmed that the Portuguese coach must pay arrears of personal income tax (IRPF) for 2011 and 2012, when he coached Real Madrid.
In 2018, the Central Administrative and Economic Court rejected a complaint relating to IRPF for the period 2010-2012, resulting in a fine of €571,073 and a settlement of €881,368.
The national hearing overturned the sanction and found the tax administration’s right to collect the debt corresponding to 2010 established, but upheld the debts of 2011 and 2012.
Jose Mourinho appealed the calculations, finding that the amounts subject to tax were incorrect and said that part of the amount was not due to wages, but to the company Gestifute, responsible for brokering his contract with Real Madrid.
This Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected the appeal – a decision obliging the Portuguese coach to pay debts for 2011 and 2012, considering that the total income received was not declared, therefore it was not included in the IRPF declaration.
In Spain, the IRPF applies to all residents of the territory and is levied on income earned in the country.
