Now he hasn't been paying his accountants and has been ordered by the arbiter to pay up. http://www.twowheelsblog.com/tag/valentino+rossi+tax+scandal Valentino Rossi must pay his accountancy firm about 2.5 million euros in a case settled by the Italian fiscal authorities. The accountancy firm had complained that Rossi owed them money after their efforts in saving him 170 millions had gone unpaid. The accountancy firm had requested a 1.5 percent cut of the above figure, and when it was not forthcoming, the matter was referred to the Accountants Guild.
Governments would probably think so if normal punters could £68 off their tax bill for every £1 spent on accountants!
