Cristiano Ronaldo, the “fiscal” reasons why he chose Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo, thanks to the Growth Decree, paid only in his ‘Italian’ years 100 thousand euros per year for all revenues from abroad. Normal taxation for the salary, but flat rate for all contracts deriving from sponsorships (the real fortune of the Portuguese).

In fact, the English tax regime is even more convenient for foreigners. The bonus’Matters not Dom‘, reserved for people who live and work in the United Kingdom, but have a fixed residence in another country, drops from the 100,000 euros provided by Italy to zero. Basically, for the next seven years, Cristiano Ronaldo will not pay a cent in taxes for contracts signed with sponsors. The Portuguese had already benefited from the concession in 2003, in his first year in Manchester, but for a technicality he will be able to get it again.
