Di British Connection After England player, David Beckham, join Real Madrid for 2003, im enjoy special tax awoof because Spain wan ginger other ogbonge footballers and managers make dem come La Liga. Dem call dis special tax awoof ,'Beckham Law' and for six years, David Beckham dey pay 24% tax on top money im dey make for Spain. Something wey others dey pay like 50% for. During dis time, Spain economy blow and Real Madrid bring top players come like Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo, But in 2010, Spain cancel Beckham Law for anybody wey dey collect salary of more than €600,000 but some big players eye don chook already.
