If you mean his image rights - are you sure that in France they are taxed domestically?jimmymelrose said:

I'd just to state again that I'm not critising Beckham, not at all. Good for him for finding such a great way of avoiding French taxes which is virtually a national sport for anyone with any sense in France.
As it is he is giving it to charity.
There's no EU-wide taxation system (as yet) but in the UK most players have offshored their image rights to avoid tax and can do so perfectly legally - at least since Dennis Bergkamp won a case against HMRC over the issue. Does France have the same system, or do they insist on image rights being taxed domestically?

For those interested, how image rights are treated in the UK:

Another DB story - from the Secret Footballer - when he was at Man U he was asked by the developers of the Palm Island project off the coast of Dubai if he would appear in advertisements and promotion. Besides accepting a fee he agreed only if the developers would sell at cost one house to everyone at Man U who wanted to buy a house, at the time this cost each player ca £600k, the estimated price now per unit is around five-six times that.0

You're assuming he even pays his taxes in France.
Accept the good he's doing and stop trying to put your own negative spin on it.

I'm not putting 'negative spin' on it. If you read my posts you will see that. I'm just giving information that you will not know as you don't live in France. If that's so bad, why have a forum?

I don't know the answer to that. I just reckon that he's probably taking advantage of the tax reduction you get in France when you give to charity - something that if you don't live in France you won't be aware of. He's still doing a very good deed, there's no way I'm criticising him - far from it, I still think it's great. I give money to charity myself - I get 50% back but that still means I'm giving half of the original amount.BlackForestReds said:

You mean they have tax in France - and tax breaks too? You're right, as I don't live in France and I'd never have known that.jimmymelrose said:

One of the regular posters on the older stateman Spurs boards said about 2 months ago the daughter was having to move schools because Becks was shagging one of the teachers. He knew because his kids were going to the same school. Didn't think much of it at the time...but having seen this is all coming out in the press now...stackitsteve said:Rumours he has got his daughters teacher up the duff and he's about to get a divorce.
