Pop singer Shakira to face trial over tax fraud in Spain

Wage slips don't lie.

If you don't live in the country, why would anyone pay taxes to the said country?

Oh well, get the same lawyers as Messi and Ronaldo then pay off the fine given by the court.

I could be wrong, but my guess is she doesn't complete her own tax returns but has some expert do it for her. Why is said expert not in the frame? Feels like a lot of these trials are publicity driven.

She has at least 5 people handling her taxes, since she works in different jurisdictions and has to pay taxes in each. The location of her "home" has the most complex taxes, so a few people will be handling those.

Each country has different tax laws. We never hired any accountants, but had our lawyer do it for added protection in our country. I suspect she would have gotten similar advice. Of course, advice can be ignored and people don't follow instructions as their clients intend all the time.

Shakira! We got your back, that Spanish government doesn't operate at a developed standard. They are corrupt and just want her money.

Keep it moving Spain....
