According to data supplied by the government, La Liga clubs owe a staggering €752m in tax.
The figure was revealed in answer to a written question from a spokesman for the Izquierda Unida (IU) political party and has been divided into three categories: €490m owed by clubs from La Primera, €184m by Segunda A clubs and the remainder made up by lower division outfits who have €78m outstanding.
The IU said in statement that the total debt has increased by almost €150m in the past four years, whilst also pointing out that there is also money owing for social security.
However, Secretary of State for Sport, Miguel Cardenal is confident the debts will be paid off in a short space of time and stressed that the country’s professional clubs are working to solve the issue.
“I’m am two months into office and am working with the Professional Football League (LFP)," he said. "There is a process underway where I hope to soon have an agreement that the debt owed by the football clubs to the tax office will soon be paid off.”

Apparently there is talk that the tax payer will end up paying it off

I bet the Spanish people are delighted about that.
