My understanding is this particular tax on high salaries is paid by the employer. Suppose you pay an employee more than 1 million euro yearly, you'll have to pay about 75% tax for everything over 1 million euros. Apparently, this only for 2013 and 2014 and it concerns about 1000 employees, including something like 100 soccer players.
