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

The father of the guy who was the prime minister of your country until yesterday died before the British authorities could discover that he had an offshore society in Panama. Think about it for a moment.

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 

*Raises hand*

He tried to dodge tax on his image rights income by creating an offshore structure. In fact he already had to pay 1.14M€ in 2015 for this reason. What's happening now is that more information regarding his offshore societies has been exposed recently (Football Leaks?), so the authorities are reacting.

I see, thanks for the clarification
