There is a storm in football, this time not because of sports results. But for a question of taxes and money. Because the Implementation Decree, which could be established through a Decree of the Prime Minister of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, is missing to ensure that the 2019 growth decree can be used for 2020 payments.
TAX RELEASE – The idea was to allow companies, not just football clubs, to offer competitive salaries to personalities who come from abroad, significantly reducing the tax rate, especially for multi-year contracts. Thus, the tax base was reduced by 50% in football (it could go up to 70%), with the obligations for taxes on work would have been much lower. Thanks to this trick many clubs have bought top-tier players with salaries generally out of reach.
CIRCULAR – Yesterday, the Tax Agency sent the clubs an interpretative document that deprives sports clubs of the possibility of using the tax relief provided by the growth decree. So the Agency instructed its local offices to “hit” soccer clubs, although it is only an opinion that can be ignored in case of dispute. So if some clubs sue, they might even win. On the other hand, however, this is, at least currently, the position of the Tax Agency.
HOW TO MANAGE IT? The 2020 payments were made under the subsidized scheme, but could in fact be fallacious. One of the two: a laborious repentance as soon as possible, integrating all past payments plus related penalties. An impact for clubs that have already been affected by Covid. Or avoid repentance with a control of the Public Treasury and possible litigation.
FUTURE PROBLEM – Many clubs are working with players from abroad, perhaps expiring in 2021, assuming (currently incorrectly) that they can access tax relief. At that point, unofficial transfers could be put on hold until the situation is understood. It is a good patatrac, because there are many players who are in this situation, especially if we take into account 2019 and 2020 as signings. An important specification: according to the law, the player must stay in Italy for at least two years from the time they settled in to activate the tax relief.
