Taiwo charged with tax evasion

Posted: 17 July 2013
Time: 08:01 am
Nigeria international defender Taye Taiwo has been charged with tax evasion by a court in France.

The former Olympique Marseille player has been accused of not paying his income tax in 2008 and 2009 as well as his property tax in 2011, all of which are valued at about €1,025,000.

The fiscal authorities have consequently seized Taiwo's €600,000 mansion in Marseille which they say will be auctioned off for just €200,000.

The trial was conducted in absentia as Taiwo was neither present nor represented by a legal practitioner.

The tax office however released a statement which states that Taiwo can apply through his lawyer for instalment or delayed payment if he is not financially fit to settle at the moment.

The power playing left-back recently signed for ambitious Turkish Super Lig club Bursaspor from AC Milan.

He owes 1 Million plus, and his house of 600K has been said to be seized and to be auctioned at the rate of 200K....note, all in Euros!

All these proceedings and decisions without his consent and without a lawyer.....

The French authorities are THIEVES! How can you seize a mansion of 600K Euros and auction it for just 200k Euros?
This seems like a conspiracy. It hurts so much to see you nairalanders above talk trash about a fellow Nigerian. Most celebs around the world have had issues with their taxes & its no big deal.

I think the French government is just taking advantage of this to give his property to one of their own easily! THIEVES! That's what they are!!!

Tax evasion equals to Greed! Its human nature.

The rich and poor are usUally guilty of this.

Funny part is that Taye as a Nigerian would be up to date with his 10 percent tithe worth millions of dollars.

Tax evasion is much of a 'crime' against God than tithe evasion is.

you are correct but at the same time there will always be people who are looking to either not pay or underpay taxes on their earnings. I believe they do so willingly and only act like they were unaware when they get caught/audited.
Re: Taiye Taiwo Charged With Tax Evasion In France by Nobody: 7:58pm On Jul 18, 2013
Even here in Nigeria most politicians don't pay tax while some of them were forced to pay up because of political ambitions. Without paying tax I wonder how some people expects the world to move forward. But,I stil believe that european countries charges exuberant tax rates

Auction value and market value are not the same. If govt sells through an auction house, the govt must take a huge cut cos auction is cash and carry business or they can put it on the market and it might take years to sell and cost maintenance and upkeep would be accruing

To be honest a €600,000 house cant be a mansion unless it is in some remote part of nowhere city in France. You will struggle to find a decent 2 bedroom flat for €600,000 in decent parts of Paris. Bear in mind a 5 bedroom house in Lekki 1 is roughly the same price as this so called mansion (N125 million)

Sorry to say, but stop this ignorance. French don't give excuse like Nigeria law. In french law, you are considered guilty first until you prove your innocence, unlike Nigeria law which pronounce you innocent until you are proven guilty.

Taiye Taiwo has done nothing wrong. Taxation is nothing but a socially accepted theft,enforced upon the gullible masses by the government. Other animals enjoy the good things of life freely while human beings prefer to enslave themselves..
