Cristiano Ronaldo's management agency/ legal team have released tax documents showing the footballer earned £191m in 2015, over £500,000 per day, £3.7m a week and £15.9m a month- after a French paper alleged recently that the Real Madrid star avoided paying tax to Spanish authorities by using offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands.
1. Ronaldo has always co operated with Spanish tax authorities and has never hidden tax records.
2. The 31-year-old Portugal international declared just €23.5m (£19.8m) of income from inside Spain, where he works with Real Madrid and made €203.7m (£171m) from other countries.
The company's statement titled 'Model 720' read:
'This document confirms that Spain's Tax Agency is knowledgeable of all of Cristiano Ronaldo's assets and income. From now on, the player will not make any further statement on this subject.
