Not for long it won't ......still be lower but not low enough to make any real difference
"A partner at Cuatrecasas has criticised the Spanish government for announcing that it will abandon the so-called ‘Beckham Law’, which allows star footballers and other wealthy workers coming into the country to pay almost half the going tax rate.
In its budget for 2010, the ruling Spanish Socialist Worker’s Party has said that it will repeal the Spanish tax decree - enacted in 2005 - which allowed foreign workers who earn over €600,000 a year and meet other criteria to pay a tax rate of just 24 per cent for five years, and only pay tax on their Spanish source of income and assets.
After 2010 those who formerly would have enjoyed the tax break will now have to pay the 43 per cent levy imposed on Spanish nationals earning the same amount."

I think the Russians are going to be next big league.
Once sky begin to pay less to their fav 4 I think the talent in UK will dry up a bit.
And TV audiences are the biggest for the Prem at the moment but maybe the TV companies will start showing La Liga more in future because of the quality of players it has and then I think UK football may suffer.I hope not.

Do you know if UK based players have to pay national insurance? Over here we (well my missus) has to pay a small amount of tax towards health care.
I was wondering if that would bump up British based players tax bill cos from what I remember it was about 10% but I might be wrong.

I think techincal football ability the La Liga is miles ahead of the Premiership and although the big two take all the plaudits and credit (and rightly so) there are also 4-5 other sides who would easily end in the top 4/6 in this country if they were included within a 38 game season and not a one-off basis over 2 legs.
For me the La Liga is the best league in the world.....best players, stronger league and better football.

Since the Prem began there was the fluke of Blackburn and including them there have been 4 different winners.
In that same time period 6 different teams have won La Liga.
Here upsets against the big teams are more likely.
Like RIG says its between Cheski and them in the prem really nobody else really has a chance.
I think Chelsea would be about 4th if they were in this league.
Barca and Real are miles ahead of them and Sevilla are about on par with the best EPL teams.
The Prem's time is over I'd say,they had a few years but have been overtaken again.
