Tax authorities investigate club payments to players and coaches over suspected fiscal fraud
The Tax Authority is conducting a control operation on monetary transfers made by sports clubs to players and coaches. In recent months, requests for information have been sent to tax authorities in various countries, with the aim of clarifying who made the payments, what amounts were transferred and what type of services they were intended to remunerate.
According to Correio da Manhã, the strategy involves tracing the movement of money, given that there are indications of possible fiscal fraud offences. Portuguese authorities are seeking to obtain concrete data on specific financial operations, requesting cooperation from equivalent foreign jurisdictions.
The investigation aims to determine whether the declared amounts correspond to those actually paid and whether the taxes owed were correctly settled. The operation is part of a policy of greater scrutiny on transactions in the professional football sector.
