Los 20 días por los que HACIENDA tiene que pagar más de 60 MILLONES a SHAKIRA

The Spanish Tax Agency will have to return more than 60 million euros to Shakira due to an undue fine for tax fraud. The Spanish courts have ruled in favor of the Colombian singer, finding that it cannot be proven that she was a tax resident in Spain in 2011. However, she has other convictions for tax evasion. This decision obliges the Tax Agency to return a large sum in tax assessments and penalties, corresponding to one of the most lucrative years of the artist's career. The key point of the ruling is the Tax Agency's inability to demonstrate that Shakira spent more than 183 days in Spain in 2011, an essential requirement for establishing tax residency. As Jesús García Bueno, a journalist specializing in legal affairs for EL PAÍS, explains in the podcast, the tax authorities were only able to prove 163 days, which proved decisive. Even so, the legal battle paints a complex picture of the case: on the one hand, an administrative victory in the year with the largest financial impact; On the other hand, there was her admission of guilt in later years, which the artist settled by accepting a sentence to avoid a trial. Beyond the legal sphere, the case has also impacted Shakira's public narrative. Her entourage has maintained for years that it is a thing of the past, while the singer herself has incorporated it into her personal and even creative story. As María Porcel, EL PAÍS's leisure and culture correspondent in the United States, explains, the singer herself has described this process as a nightmare and has made it clear that it is a chapter she remembers very much, although she hopes to put it behind her for good after this latest court ruling, which her defense interprets as a moral victory.
