A Spanish court dismissed Shakira's appeal in a tax fraud case, ruling that there was enough proof to move forward. "Hips Don't Lie" The singer Shakira, 45, was previously charged for not paying taxes owed for income earned in 2012 to 2014 period.
According to Spanish law, an individual spends more than 183 days in the country is liable to pay taxes on income acquired internationally and for lesser days spent liable to pay taxes on income earned in the country.
Shakira claimed that she had spent the majority of those years out of country in the Bahamas, and filed her taxes accordingly and never intentionally hide her income. However the Spanish court determined that they haven't found enough evidence reflecting resident not living in the country.
