Neymar: free from prosecution in Spain, the player faces Brazilian justice

By / / 1 minute reading

The player Neymar is contesting in Brazilian court a fine of R$188 million that he would have to pay to the Federal Revenue Service made between 2011 and 2013, the year in which he was transferred from Santos to Barcelona. This week a federal judge in Santos decided that taxes paid in Spain should be deducted from this amount. In the sentence, there is evidence that Neymar paid taxes in the European country in the amount of 40 million euros (R$203 million). The decision, in the first instance, is subject to appeal.

The amount that the PSG and national team striker will have to pay to the IRS is still unknown and will be calculated at the end of the process. The original fine was stipulated in 2015, but a series of decisions favorable to the player should reduce the amount.

The process still takes some time, as both Neymar and the Attorney General's Office of the National Treasury, the body responsible for defending the State, must present appeals.

The action now judged was filed by Neymar, his father (Neymar da Silva Santos) and his mother (Nadine Gonçalves) and two family companies, which questionam the fine applied by the Revenue.
