Every week to enjoy the world’s best players performing the Spanish fans, yesterday received a bad news: Spain’s ruling party has left-wing coalition of social workers to reach an agreement, in order to protect their own people, employment, decided to change the “Beckham laws and regulations. ” Primera Liga club’s players to the world why there is a huge attraction to a certain extent, is contamination by the light tax policy, specifically, is “Beckham Act” effectiveness.
Florentino year in order to bring David Beckham, deliberately to persuade Prime Minister of Spain Asna, Microsoft, tax policy, added a reduction in taxation of foreign players-laws, this provision has allowed the Primera Liga proven infinitely useful. In the “Beckham law”, the compliance of the foreign players only need to pay 24% of the personal income tax (national player up to 43%), Spanish foreign players most of the other countries the rate is only half the battle. Now, the rules change, the influence of La Liga adversely affected.
The revised regulations, foreigners working in Spain as long as the residence time of less than 10 years, and annual income of more than 600,000 euros, are required to pay, and the Spaniards the same personal income tax, that is, from the original 24% increase in to 43%.

Spain’s professional league changes the tax laws and regulations expressed great concern and dissatisfaction with President of the Union Astiazaran career, said the Spanish league does not rule out the possibility of dropping out. “If the new regulations into effect, then we will not rule out the strike and to oppose it. This legislation changes, the Spanish football will generate 100 million euros on the amount of impact, we have to oppose this decision, or even refuse to play.”
In this world, there are a lot of “tax haven”, the Spanish football field in the low-tax policy, she received a “soccer tax paradise”, which can be regarded as one of the main factors enduring La Liga . C Luo, Kaka and other players chose to join the Primera Liga, the role played by low taxes not small. Foreign players a higher tax rate also means that the Spanish “Soccer tax havens,” the end of the Florentino cost of the introduction of the action star, will become even greater.
