In an unexpected turn of events, Insparya Hair Medical Clinic, a professional hair graft clinic associated with Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez, finds itself under legal scrutiny. As reported by El Confidencial, the Tax Agency found alleged issues with the invoices for the services issued between 2019 and 2021. They claimed that the invoices and bills were devoid of the requisite Value Added Tax (VAT), which ought to have been levied for the rendered services. This incident raised questions regarding the nature of the services provided by Ronaldo’s Insparya and their legal implications.

Insparya, administered by Ronaldo’s partner Georgina Rodriguez, has argued that the hair graft services they provided their customers were for Alopecia. They emphasized that Alopecia is a disease, and the law allows them to diagnose, prevent, and treat any disease without charging any VAT. However, the Tax Agency claimed that they mainly performed hair transplants for aesthetic purposes. As a result, they’re subject to a 21% VAT.

As the issue seems pressing for Cristiano Ronaldo-led Insparya and the Tax Agency, the authorities have extended their investigation. In response to the initiation of the investigation, Insparya has stated that they have adhered to all the laws and rules, including taxation, labor, health, and regulatory issues. It will be interesting to see how well Cristiano Ronaldo handles this situation.

The battle between medical and aesthetic treatment

The controversy surrounds the motivation behind the treatments and procedures provided by Insparya. Although the clinic revealed that most of these procedures are for aesthetic reasons, they showed an assessment from the WHO that categorizes ‘androgenic alopecia’ as an aesthetic condition. In contrast to their statements and plea, the tax inspectors and officials have now decided to examine the photographs of past patients in a detailed manner to confirm the genuine nature of these procedures.

The Tax Officers also asked for a justified reason for the outsourced expenses related to ‘hotels,’ ‘meals,’ and ‘trips.’ This multifaceted investigation has put Cristiano Ronaldo and his venture, Insparya, in the spotlight. As the investigation unfolds, it remains to see how it would affect the Portuguese talisman and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez. The outcome of this inquiry seems to be as promising as Ronaldo’s thrilling soccer matches.
