Pedrosa had paid the sum for his earnings in 20ꦡ05 and 2006 because the tax agency argued that he resided in Spain during those years.

But he appealed, and the national court upheld his argument that he wasn’t liabꦗle to pay tax in Spain because he lived in the United Kingdom at the time.

Pedrosa will now receive his €2,418,3ജ73.20 back plus interest w♊hich report will be €600,000.

This latest judgement is still appealable, howe🐓ver.

This is the fourth successful appeal Pedrosa has had against the Spanish tax 🦹authorities, all pertaining to different pe꧒riods.

"Naturally, Dani Pedrosa is very satisfied with the conclusion of the𒐪se processes, in which it has been shown that he never lied about his tax residence, as the Tax Agency maintained,” his lawyer said. 

“However, P🐼edr🏅osa also bitterly remembers very unpleasant episodes.”

Pedrosa, the most s♚ucce🔯ssful MotoGP rider ever to have never won the championship, is now 38.

He will again be a test rider for KTM in 2024, having twice raced this year as a wildcard to huge acclaim f☂rom his on-track rivals.
