Teletubby 150,012 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Spanish newspaper El Pais revealed that Shakira was forced to sell the rights to her 145 songs after the Spanish tax authorities asked her to pay taxes for the period from 2012 to 2014 (when she was living in Spain but her fiscal residence was in the Bahamas). If she hadn't paid, she could have been imprisoned. These rights now belong to Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited. source source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 27,132 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Whut? I'd think she has enough money to pay her taxes without having to lose the rights to her songs? That's so strange lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it unfair? The headline is misleading. Shakira avoided paying taxes and had a balance overdue. For whatever reason, despite avoiding paying the taxes, she didn't have the money to pay the tax + the penalty for illegal evasion. So she chose to sell the rights to her songs to foot the bill. This is all on her and I have zero sympathy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, the first article is also very misleading Until then, this is Elvira saying unpleasant dreams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
