Football companies request extension for tax payments
August 19, 2026
Several top-tier football clubs failed to settle their new tax liabilities amounting to €1 million by the August 20 deadline. While they paid a portion of their dues, they are requesting an extension of a few weeks to pay the remainder. The Tax Commissioner is considering their request and it’s likely that he will grant additional time to ensure tax collection rather than shut down the clubs. The football companies have promised to stick to the timeline if granted this extended deadline for payments. This situation arises due to new debts created by the teams' recent developments.
