Neymar during match against Celta Vigo. Player faces problems with the IRS
The Attorney of the National Treasury blocked 188.8 million reais from Neymar, his family and companies linked to him, according to published on Friday the daily Correio Brasiliense. Barcelona striker and national team is accused of evading taxes between 2011 and 2013 while playing for Santos and negotiated his departure for the Spanish team, according to the assessment notices issued by the IRS.
Denied in the first instance, retention of resources was completed after the judge Carlos Muta, the Regional Federal Court (TRF) of the 3rd Region, considered that there were risks to the athlete "squander the heritage and damage the public coffers." The National Treasury considered that there was "deceit, fraud and simulation operations to try to cheat the taxman" and therefore decided to extend the punishment.
According to the report, the equity Neymar is valued at 242.2 million reais. As the amount charged by the Revenue represents more than 30% of the total, were blocked also goods of their families and of three companies that command (Neymar Sport and Marketing, N & N Consulting Sports and Corporate and N & N Asset Management Holdings and Investments).
Complaint - Neymar is accused of evading the taxman in negotiations involving his time at Santos and his tumultuous move to Barcelona. The Treasury disputes the way the striker declared their salaries in Santos. Neymar claims that 90% of the value came from image rights, but all this would amount to the account of one of his father's companies and thus received a less taxing. The Justice claims that Neymar should pay taxes normally on all of your earnings.
The most serious case concerns the return of Neymar to Spain. Revenue found that Neymar received 10 million euros to give preference to sell to Barcelona, in 2011 - negotiation admitted by the club and the athlete's father. Father and athlete are accused of simulating a loan, since queo payment was made directly to the athlete's parent company, without charging interest or collateral requirements when he still had a contract with Santos. For this reason, Neymar is also being investigated by the courts of Spain.
