It's what happens when a country doesn't have tax havens within its borders, unlike UK, and the authorities do their job.

It seems that Mourinho created his structure in 2004 (the year he signed for Chelsea) in the British Virgin Islands.

nah, if they were doing their job there wouldn't be so many people getting away with not paying tax in the first place. This seems more like a despearate "oh shit, we need money!" type of deal

I think it also has to do with a change in interpretation from the internal revenue service on how some things tribute, I heard that was the case with Alexis Sánchez at least. Some things they did to reduce their taxes were considered valid at some point or there were loopholes, but now that interpretation changed there are a lot of accusations.

I can't say this is the answer since they probably do many different things to elude taxes (There must be a lot of true frauds lol), but I also guess these practices must be kinda similar in the business. Maybe someone from spain could clarify
