The Treasury hunts down representative Ginés Carvajal for Víctor Valdés' contract

The legal battle between Ginés Carvajal, a representative of soccer players, and the Tax Agency has come to an end, with Carvajal losing the fight. The Madrid Court of Justice rejected the arguments put forth by Carvajal regarding the tax payments for the services provided to former Barcelona goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. The debate centered around the company Aranca Sport, in which Carvajal’s daughter was the majority partner. The Tax Agency believed that Carvajal used this company to avoid paying the full amount of taxes he owed. Despite Carvajal’s arguments, the court ruled in favor of the Tax Agency, stating that there was no evidence to support his claims. The court also noted that Aranca Sport had minimal assets and its sole purpose seemed to be reducing Carvajal’s taxes. This ruling is significant as it may impact Carvajal’s parallel claim for personal income tax. Although the ruling can be appealed, the Tax Agency has emerged victorious in the first round of this legal battle.
