.

This is revealed by the detailed accounting of the youtuber to which PIXEL has obtained exclusive access,

, how much taxes he pays and how much the company of the most popular Spanish-speaking youtuber

earns

.

Of that money, he paid 376,788.07 euros in Corporation Tax and 1,562,212.5 euros (75% of sales) were paid to Rubén for being the professional partner of his company.

Of those 1.56 million he received from his own company,

51.43% of the original income that his company had during 2019

.

Information that comes in the midst of a deep controversy that arose after El Rubius announced his move to Andorra, a popular destination among youtubers in which

the tax burden is lower than Spain,

causing a wave of critical reactions against the youtuber in the one that even got to participate the vice president of Government, Pablo Iglesias.

The way in which Ruben Doblas

(El Rubius) organizes his business is complex

.

In addition to being the sole administrator of the company Snofokk SL -through which he manages his professional activity, for which he must pay Corporation Tax and for which he receives an amount as a professional partner- El Rubius is also

given of Register as a self-employed person

and must pay the Personal Income Tax (IRPF) for the invoices issued to their own company (Snofokk SL).

In this way, during 2019, El Rubius paid 376,788.07 euros in Corporation Tax and

694,398.86 euros in personal income tax as self-employed

, as PIXEL has learned.

In total, the Rubius paid 1,071,186.93 euros.

An amount higher than that of large audiovisual companies operating in our country, such as

Netflix

, which with a turnover of 26.5 million euros between its two Spanish subsidiaries,

paid a total of 478,000 euros of Corporation Tax

during the 2019 financial year.

In addition to being the sole administrator of his company,

El Rubius is also a professional partner of Snofokk SL.

As a professional partner of his own company, of the € 2,082,950.50 of income that Snofokk SL obtained,

the youtuber received a remuneration from his only limited company of 1,562,212.5 euros

.

An amount that, within the accounting filed with the commercial register, is included under the heading of "other operating expenses" which, according to PIXEL published, amounts to a total of 1,702,516.59 euros.

However, as indicated in a statement sent to PIXEL by the general manager and attorney of Snofokk SL, Hector Turiel, "the company paid 75% of the sales to Mr. Rubén Doblas Gundersen in his capacity as partner-professional (Although

the rule only requires 75% of profits before taxes

) ".

In this sense, Law 27/2014 establishes in its article 18.6.B "that the amount of the remuneration corresponding to all the professional partners for the provision of services to the entity is

not less than 75% of the result prior to the deduction of the remuneration corresponding

to all the professional partners for the provision of their services ".

The fact of paying 75% of sales (instead of 75% of taxes before profits)

implies an accounting disadvantage

(they end up paying more taxes) for the professional partners of a company (in this case El Rubius However, it is also a formula used by some companies to

cure their health in the face of possible tax inspections

.

Statement from Snofokk SL on the taxes of El Rubius

In light of the controversy generated by the taxation of El Rubius, Hector Turiel,

SNOFOKK SL's attorney, has sent the following statement

to PIXEL with his version of the facts:

"In relation to all the inaccuracies that appeared in some media about what was perceived by Mr. Rubén Doblas Gundersen in 2019 through SNOFOKK, SL (company that manages his professional activity and therefore all his income derived from it) We wish to state that the company's turnover in said fiscal year was € 2,082,950.50. In accordance with the provisions of article 18.6.b of Corporate Tax Law 27/2014, the company paid 75% of sales to Mr. Rubén Doblas Gundersen in his capacity as partner-professional (although the norm only requires 75% of profits before taxes) which constitutes the majority of the amount of the company's operating expenses (1,702 .516.59 €) since the aforementioned partner-professional billed the company as self-employed, this amount being the one that later Mr. Rubén Doblas Gundersen declared in his personal income tax for the aforementioned fiscal year.

Therefore, and faithful to our policy of honesty and transparency and strict compliance with current legislation, I will now report on the turnover generated by Mr. Rubén Doblas Gundersen and on all taxes paid for the performance of his professional activity with respect to the fiscal year of 2019 and that reach 51.43% of the income:

Income received from professional activity: € 2,082,950.50

Corporation Tax: € 376,788.07

Personal income tax (state and regional tax on the general base): € 694,398.86

Taxes paid for professional activity: € 1,071,186.93 "

Constant inspection of the Treasury against El Rubius

Months before announcing his move to Andorra, El Rubius expressed his dissatisfaction with the treatment received by the Spanish Treasury

since the beginning of his career

during another of his live videos.

"The

Treasury has had me in their sights since day one

. They've always been trying to screw me, man. I've done well. I've done

everything legal

. Still, because

I'm

the only fool who has stayed in Spain, they screw me to me ", he complained bitterly during a video published months before announcing his departure to the country of the Pyrenees.

Unlike what happens with other types of State officials, the employees of the Tax Agency have

productivity bonuses for meeting set collection targets

.

A surveillance that, according to the newspaper Expansión, was increased during the last months of last year to meet objectives.

Specifically,

the "day one" that Rubius speaks of is June 5, 2013

.

The date on which Ruben Doblas Grundsen incorporated the company "El Rubius OMG SL" (which years later would change its name to Snofokk SL) with a share

capital of 23,000 euros

.

The act of incorporation of the company was the starting signal for a bitter relationship between the treasury and the yotuber, which has been subjected to different inspections with the Tax Agency in which the Spanish Treasury even asked third countries for

information on if El Rubius was the owner of an account abroad

.

"I'm doing everything. Following the laws that you have set yourself.

Why do you treat me like a criminal?

Why do you persecute me? In plan, they have been like this for years, uncle. And you feel helpless ...", reflected El Rubius in the video.

Finally, El Rubius launched a conciliatory plea to the treasury: "I would love to be able to talk to someone and say: hey,

why don't we reach an agreement?

" While giving a glimpse of his possible departure "It touches my balls. If you are going to to be like this with me, because maybe I'll go away ".

Half a year later, the youtuber announced his departure to Andorra and, now,

the enigma of how much El Rubius charges

(867,813.64 euros clean) and how much taxes he pays in Spain (1,071,186.93 euros)

has

finally

been solved

.
