Gucci, through Kering, operated an offshore tax avoidance scheme that shifted taxable profit from Italy to Luxembourg
While the Italian authorities continue to probe Gucci’s alleged tax evasion, documents obtained by Mediapart and its partners in the journalistic consortium European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) show how Kering, with Pinault’s knowledge, mounted a sophisticated offshore tax avoidance scheme which allowed Bizzarri and Kering to escape tens of millions of euros in tax payments in Italy, by remunerating the Gucci boss a net yearly sum of 8 million euros via a shell company in Luxembourg, for which he paid relatively nominal taxes in Switzerland.
Separately, 3.65 million euros was to be paid by Gucci, on which Bizzarri would be subject to direct tax deductions in Italy of 1.2 million euros, representing a rate of 33% instead of 50% if he was resident in Italy.
