Bar Refaeli ordered to pay NIS 8 million in unreported income
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli supermodel Bar Refaeli has been ordered to pay the state back taxes of NIS 8 million ($2.25 million) that she was accused of concealing from Israeli tax collectors.
She is also ordered to pay NIS 120,000 in court costs, according to a verdict released today by state prosecutors.
The court ruling rejects Refaeli’s argument that in 2009-2010 she was living permanently abroad with her then-boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio and therefore did not owe Israeli taxes during that period. The verdict says Refaeli spent 185 and 131 days in Israel during 2009 and 2010, respectively.
The release of the verdict comes just two days ahead of the start of the Eurovision song contest in Israel, of which Refaeli is one of the hosts.
