The Tax Agency will have to return 2.42 million euros to Dani Pedrosa

The Tax Agency will have to return some 2,418,373.20 euros to former motorcycling world champion Dani Pedrosa, corresponding to the settlement of the income for the years 2005 and 2006, which the treasury had claimed from him because it understood that he resided in Spain. .

In the ruling of the Contentious-Administrative Chamber to which EFE has had access, the National Court upholds the appeal filed by Pedrosa against the liquidation of personal income tax corresponding to the years 2005 and 2006, understanding that he was not obliged to pay taxes in Spain as I was residing in the United Kingdom at that time.

Although the sentence can still be appealed in cassation before the Supreme Court, the Treasury will have to return 2,418,373.20 euros to the Catalan pilot, along with late payment interest which, according to the appellant, would amount to approximately 600,000 euros more.

Pedrosa's lawyer, David Gil, highlighted in a statement that his client “is very satisfied with the conclusion of these processes, in which it has been shown that he never lied about his tax residence, as the Tax Agency maintained.”
