Commercials, events (sporting and non-sporting), appearances in programmes tv: Francesco Totti, immediately after the end of his football career, in 2017, he was contested by brands and companies who paid him handsomely to lend his image. But according to the investigation by the Finance Department and then by the Tax Office, the Captain had not opened a specific VAT number to also pay VAT (he has always paid taxes regularly) on these salaries as well. It was probably a mistake by your accountant: the fact is that Totti, as reported by Repubblica, saw one coming tax bill worth one and a half million. Which he was quick to pay.
The investigation into his activity as a man – image
Now, for the tax inspectors, the former champion’s activity as a uhomo – image era anything but occasional: that is, he didn’t limit himself to acting as a testimonial every now and then. Instead, it was a real professional activity. And free: which is why he should have opened a VAT number. The new tile that fell on Totti cannot help but have a weight in the now long-standing story of the separation from the now ex-wife Ilary Blasi: who through his lawyers has always “accused” him of earning a lot even after the end of his football activity with Roma. And therefore he would have had to continue to pay the (hefty) maintenance checks for the three children, Cristian, Chanel and Isabel, of the now former golden couple. So much so that Campione’s recent dispute with the tax authorities could become part of the economic issues linked to the separation still being discussed in court.
