Lamine Yamal, Cubarsí and Ferran Torres could pay up to €379,000 in tax for World Cup win | OneFootball

Spain beat Argentina 1-0 to claim a second world title. According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, Spain will receive $50 million, about €43.7 million, and the federation plans to allocate up to 45% to the squad.

On an equal split across the 26 players, the bonus would be about $865,385 each, roughly €757,581. The final figure could change under RFEF terms, and Spanish tax residents declare the prize via IRPF.

Barcelona players Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, Gavi and Dani Olmo would face heavy bills. With Catalan residency, the hit is estimated at about €379,000, given a marginal rate near 50.14%. In Madrid the top rate is 45.14%.

Valencia has the highest marginal rate, up to 54%, Catalunya around 50.14% and Madrid 45.14%. The Basque Country and Navarre are more favourable, where Unai Simón, Mikel Oyarzabal, Aymeric Laporte and Nico Williams could face up to 40%.

For non residents, liabilities depend on regimes in the United Kingdom, France or Germany. Eight are at overseas clubs, including Pedro Porro, Rodri, Mikel Merino and Fabián Ruiz. Premier League rates can reach 45%, and in Germany up to 47.5% for players such as Álex Grimaldo.

Marc Cucurella’s position remains unclear after moving from Chelsea to Real Madrid, as it hinges on where he keeps his tax residence.

FIFA’s individual awards carry no cash prize, so Rodri and Unai Simón would not owe tax on those honours.
