The operational woes of the Hebei soccer team continue to heat up during the tournament. Recently, media reports have indicated that in addition to unpaid player salaries and bonuses, the team also owes a large amount of taxes, so much so that some players have already received reminders from the tax department. However, due to the club's delay in paying the back taxes for the players, the problem of late payment has begun to emerge, and the players are likely to be included in the list of defaulters as a result.
However, the latest news says that the players will not be listed as defaulters.
Senior soccer commentator Li Xuan analyzed on his social media that after investigating the situation of Hebei's tax arrears, he found that although the issue of the team's salary arrears has not been a new thing for a long time, the players associated with Hebei (both current and departed players) do not have any record of tax arrears in the tax system at the moment. Some players have even advanced their own taxes. The club has promised to make up for the players' arrears as much as possible once its financial turnover improves, so the likelihood of a player being listed as a defaulter is almost zero.
