This week several portals in Spain have echoed the news that one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s businesses is in check. The world soccer megastar has used his fortune to start a range of ventures that include hotel chains, a clothing brand and a watch company, among others.

However, the investigation seeks to determine whether between 2019 and 2021 the company used a mechanism to rely on that rule and avoid paying what it was owed.
The thing is that those transplants that were performed for “purely aesthetic” purposes must pay 21% VAT. This is where the Tax Agency seeks to elucidate whether there were treatments that were reported as a disease, but in reality they were aesthetic. For this, the inspectors requested bank statements from the company’s account, a report on cash collections, and “an anonymized list of patients with the interventions performed.”
The Spanish site collects a response from the company that reports leaving everything in the hands of the lawyers, trusting that they complied with “all current legislation regarding tax, labor, health, regulatory and any other nature.”

Furthermore, in the documents presented they compare hair implantation with “the placement of a prosthesis on a patient who has lost a limb.”
