Football boss strings out the taxman for 14 years

The battle that the president of Sporting football club is engaged in with the Tax Authority continues. Between February 27 and March 7th this year, Bruno de Carvalho filed four counter claims to four tax enforcement proceedings for a debt of almost €3.3 million.

All of the lawsuits were filed with the Lisbon Tax Court, with the first three filed against the Lisbon Finance Department and the last one (filed on July 7th) filed against the Tax Justice Service (DSJT), the body that that oversees the execution of tax debts.
