Ministry of Finance calls on football clubs to settle debts
September 24, 2024
The Ministry of Finance has sent a stern message to football clubs to pay debts amounting to €35.6 million accrued between 2007 and 2023. The clubs are urged to make their payments and submit tax declarations, with a deadline for clearing the debts. The government is also planning a bill to increase betting taxes to assist in these repayments, but the bill has faced opposition and is not currently being implemented. Compliance with the repayment plan is crucial to avoid exclusion from future participation in leagues.
