Bayern Munich director Uli Hoeness wants Spanish tax laws changed to remove the advantage they give the nations clubs.

Currently a special rule exists in Spain allowing Primera Division stars to pay just 25 per cent tax - giving the league an unfair advantage when it comes to attracting and retaining players.

Hoeness also thinks that the average man in the street should be unhappy at having to pay higher taxes than the multi-millionaire footballers.

Speaking to Sport Bild he commented "It cannot be right that the best players in the world playing in Spain only have to pay half the taxes that the rest of Europe have to.

"I am sure that the legislation will end up being changed.

"A worker with an annual income of €50,000 plays 30 per cent tax and is not going to put up with a player who earns €10 million paying 25 per cent tax."

Although unable to ask UEFA or FIFA to change the law, Hoeness thinks that the European Union can do something about it and that they should step in.

Many commentators have attributed the recent success of Real Madrid in signing a raft of star-players to the tax issue - arguing that the 'special' low tax rate is a major draw for top players.
