Lamine Yamal, Cubarsí and Ferran Torres could pay up to 379,000 euros in tax | OneFootball

Spain’s World Cup winners face differing tax bills on their bonuses, with liabilities varying by fiscal residence. According to Superdeporte, Spain will receive 50 million dollars, 43.7 million euros, for beating Argentina 1-0 to win their second world title, and the RFEF expects to allocate up to 45% of that to the squad, 22.5 million dollars, 19.7 million euros.

If split equally among the 26 players, each would receive about 865,385 dollars, 757,581 euros, though the final RFEF terms could alter that. Spanish tax residents must declare the bonus through IRPF.

Barcelona’s Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, Gavi and Dani Olmo would face some of the heaviest bills if resident in Catalunya. Their hit would be around 379,000 euros, based on a top marginal rate near 50.14%. Madrid’s equivalent is 45.14%.

The Valencian Community has Spain’s highest marginal rate, up to 54%. In the Basque Country and Navarre, players such as Unai Simón, Mikel Oyarzabal, Aymeric Laporte and Nico Williams could be taxed at up to 40%.

For non-residents, liabilities depend on where they play, including the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Eight squad members are at foreign clubs, among them Pedro Porro, Rodri, Mikel Merino and Fabián Ruiz. Premier League rates can reach 45%, while Bundesliga players such as Álex Grimaldo could face up to 47.5% in Germany.

Marc Cucurella’s position is uncertain. Called up as a Chelsea player then signed by Real Madrid, his bill will hinge on where he keeps his fiscal residence.
