The Spanish tax authorities must reimburse Dani Pedrosa with €2,418,373.20.
Pedrosa successfully appealed against the Spanish tax agency’s claim that he owed taxes for the years 2005 and 2006 because they argued he resided in Spain during that time. The national court agreed with Pedrosa’s argument that he was a resident of the United Kingdom at the time and therefore not liable to pay taxes in Spain. As a result, he will be refunded €2,418,373.20 plus an additional €600,000 in interest. This ruling can still be appealed. Pedrosa has previously won three other appeals against the Spanish tax authorities for different periods. Despite the satisfaction with the outcome, his lawyer mentioned that Pedrosa still remembers unpleasant episodes. Pedrosa, now 38, will continue as a test rider for KTM in 2024 after receiving praise for his wildcard race appearances this year.
