PSG is the juggernaut of French football, and that comes at a dear price. In terms of taxation, the capital club is not spared.
If the era of mega-stars is over at PSG, the capital club nevertheless remains a huge machine which crushes everything in Ligue 1. This year again, with its copious workforce and its payroll which relegates all opponents to years -light, Paris has no competition. But it comes at a price. The Eco Foot media looked at the social security contributions paid by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi's team over a year, and they are extremely high. In terms of charges on salaries, which therefore go into the state coffers, PSG obviously complies with French law with regard to income and contributions, knowing that unlike other sports, no “niche » or “trick” is not possible, because players playing in the French championship must necessarily be domiciled for tax purposes in France.
PSG sends 300 million per year to France
Result, according to the economic media, PSG pays full price, and this is especially felt on the big salaries. While in Spain for example, the law imposing 31% employer contributions has been modified so as not to rise as high on salaries beyond 50,000 euros per month, this type of ceiling also practiced in Germany does not exist in France. The rate remains the same and as a result, to be able to pay its players at the level of the best European clubs, PSG must spend 10 to 21% more than its neighbors. On the hundreds of millions of euros of its annual payroll, the consequence is terrible. “ Cumulatively, a club like Paris Saint-Germain pays more social security contributions than all the clubs in the Bundesliga (Germany), Serie A (Italy) and La Liga (Spain) combined. », Announces Eco Foot.
Financial efforts which are made by all French clubs of course, but on big salaries, the repercussion is very important and PSG, even if it was even more the case at the time of Neymar, Messi, Mbappé and Sergio Ramos brings in more than 300 million euros per year to the state coffers.
