Daydream Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 What the hell is wrong with her. She needs to grow up and her her taxes like everyone else. She ain’t special.

She did pay the €24M tax she should have paid for 2011, but she wasn't getting sued for that anyway, because it was already too long ago and the time limit ran out. I feel like she only paid it to try and keep the authorities sweet, but it didn't work The payment she keeps resisting is the €14.5M tax she allegedly owes for her profits earned in 2012-2014. This is why she keeps insisting she was "resident" in Bahamas during that time, even though there is so much evidence that she was likely resident in Barcelona, Spain the whole time. The Spanish tax office already asked her to prove it several times. First she showed a residence permit, but anyone can get a residence permit for the Bahamas, you just have to buy an expensive property and they grant you residency. Then she showed cable TV and water bills as evidence, but the investigators realized that she was just telling her cleaners in Bahamas to run the water and turn on the TV/lights in the house, so that some charges appeared on the bills They asked her to show plane tickets/flight bookings to prove she flew back and forth to Bahamas, but Shakira keeps ignoring that request. Like I said, she may still be able to win her case, but why she doesn't just pay the €14.5M at this point, idk. Like others said, she can make it back with touring and albums etc. and save this stress and bad publicity. It's a mess. Yikes. That is interesting. Yeah, even fans know that she wasn’t in the Bahamas at that time. Once she met Pique, she spent her time in Spain and the U.S. mainly, but mostly in Spain. It’s a weird situation, because she’s a humanitarian (has several schools in Colombia, which provide all students with free education and meals), but then she clearly has been trying to avoid taxes and save her money in offshore accounts. Someone must tell her how bad this is for her image, but she’s still well loved by the public despite it.
SavagePapi Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 Te felicito, sis. All jokes aside, I don't understand why this is such a major issue for her. I assume she makes great money? She has amazing streaming numbers so I really don't understand.

Not many international artists can say that. Edited May 27, 2022 by GeeDuval
GwennyGwenGwen Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 Her decision to just not say 'omg im sorry, this was all out of confusion from living a few different places' and paying whatever fine...is one of the oddest decisions in all of pop music to me lol. She is SO loved, and respected...rightfully so. Other than this she has arguably the best or at least one of the best brands in all of pop music...like sissss i love you so much but what are you doing?? i genuinely don't get it.

It's so bizarre lol I remember football legends like Ronaldo and Messi were caught in something similar or at least involving their taxes/money and once they were caught they paid and that's it. They didn't fight it as hard as she did, like she was earning more than what she owes with one season of The Voice, it's not like she cannot pay it lol I mean a celebrity evading taxes isn't something Shakira invented, but she's not backing down even tho there's an overwhelming evidence that she was evading and she lived in BCN. The lawyers must be very happy with her lol
Happylittlepunk Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 Shakira just pay your taxes already and move on. This isn’t worth fighting over in court. At this point you’re probably spending more money on lawyers then this.
GeeDuval Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Not funny but i would take a headline saying she cheated or broke up an a list marriage or punched a fan over this this cringe mess. She is so stubborn. Edited May 27, 2022 by GeeDuval
