The Treasury maintains that what was defrauded by Ana Duato between 2014 and 2017 does not reach the minimum to be a tax crime
MADRID, June 6 (CHANCE) -
Coinciding with the third day of the trial for the Nummaria Case, for which the artists Imanol Arias and Ana Duato respectively face 27 and 32 years in prison for alleged fraud against the Treasury of 2.7 and 1.9 million euros, A report from the Tax Agency comes to light that could significantly change the situation of the protagonist of 'Cuéntame', accused of 7 tax crimes in the payment of personal income tax between 2010 and 2017.
And a recent Treasury report prepared at the request of the anti-corruption prosecutor Tomás Herranz and to which Europa Press has had access, maintains that the actress did not reach the minimum of 120,000 euros of fraud in 3 of the 7 years - between 2014 and 2017. , a figure from which it would be considered a tax crime.
This study, dated April 10, analyzes the expert opinion of consultant Andrés Jiménez on the income generated by Ana Duato in her work in the series 'Tell me how it happened' in those years to find out from the Treasury officials if, as the artist claims, , the Public Ministry miscalculated the amount he earned for each episode and initially estimated it at more than 63,000 euros.
In this sense, the new Treasury report maintains that these payments to the artist were 63,101 euros per chapter until February 2013, and that therefore, the judicial aid estimated that her remuneration from 2014 to 2017 was that same amount "based on that this was the amount collected until 2013 as recorded in issued invoices".
However, and as the Tax Agency discovers in this study, Duato actually collected 33,767 euros per chapter since 2014, participating in 85 chapters between 2013 and 2017, declaring profits for said years that would amount to 2.87 million euros.
"If we distribute the declared income among the 85 chapters, the amount received per chapter is €33,767.70. This amount is even much lower than the amounts that appear in the cost budgets annexed to the contracts between RTVE and the production company" of the actress, the report maintains.
Therefore, the amount defrauded by the unforgettable 'Merche' from 'Cuéntame' would not reach the figure of 120,000 euros and could not be considered a crime prosecutable by criminal means. Ana stopped paying the Treasury in 2014 76,777 euros, in 2015 the figure of 76,932 euros, in 2016 71,263 euros and in 2017 40,452 euros. Amounts that cannot be considered a tax crime.
