Ecuadorian officials denied reports that Argentine rock legends Soda Stereo are being investigated for tax fraud. According to the Associated Press:“We cannot speak of supposed fraud or anything less (than that) confirmed Carlos Marx Carrasco (director of Ecuador’s tax agency) to the AP…
He explained that all public concerts in the country are being looked at by the agency including promoters bringing in international acts to make sure that the proper amount of taxes are being paid. –[ed. Personal translation]
Earlier this week, reports circulated of Soda being supposedly probed after its contract to play in Ecuador reported a much lower payment price compared to other concerts in the Americas.
So far, Soda Stereo’s reunion tour has been an absolute success according to the mainstream press. The group’s latest appearance was on Monday and Tuesday in Miami; their tour continues in Peru this weekend and ends in Argentina in two weeks.
