Re: The tax man sticks it to Cipollini
The tax investigation was concerned with whether or not Cippo was based in Monaco (tax free status) as he claimed, or whether he was based in Italy (where he is liable to be taxed at Italian rates).
1.1m euros is a large hit to take.

Re: The tax man sticks it to Cipollini
Yup, they got him the same way they got Valentino Rossi, proving that he had actually spent more days living at his 'secondary residence' in Italy than in his home in Montecarlo.
Happy the Government is going after these guys...

Re: The tax man sticks it to Cipollini
PP : well given the sort of money that these sportspeople make - they should be paying their fair share of tax.

Re: The tax man sticks it to Cipollini
Indeed Lim. And apparently the tax police have brought on some additional good news for Re Leone. They are auditing an additional 2.9 million euro in 2000-2004 income that they are... ehm... 'curious' about.

Poor guy. It can't be cheap to entertain a second residence in Monaco. And it was all for naught since he'll have to tax in Italy after all. |

Don't take offence at this - but I read some time back that Italy has the lowest level of income tax compliance in Europe. Italians are fundamentally opposed to pay any tax - according to this article. Is this true???? We're the same - except we inherited that attitude because, living under British occupation for 800 years - we did all we could to deprive the "crown" of income.

Didn't Sophia Loren have to go to jail in Italy for that? And they painted her cell pink for her...

Indeed Lim, we have a bit of an issue with... following the rules. To paraphrase something Mussolini said, Italy would be a heck of a lot easier to govern if Italians did not spend 99.9% of their time doing exactly the opposite of what is laid out in laws/regulations. N.B. I am not glorifying Mussolini or Fascism, and this reference is made to normal everyday laws and not political opposition to the regime (IIRC).
