Tax-related offenses are not new among Hollywood stars. From Shakira’s most recent accusation of tax evasion to Martha Stewart’s 2002 tax incident with her Hamptons home, stars have had to pay back the government over the years.

Shakira was formally ordered by a Spanish court on Tuesday to stand trial for accusations that she failed to pay 14.5 million euros ($14.31 million) in income taxes between 2012 and 2014.

Shakira was offered a settlement agreement but rejected it in July, choosing to go to trial. Prosecutors in Spain are requesting Shakira be sentenced to eight years and two months in prison and pay a fine of 24 million euros ($24 million) if convicted.

Hollywood stars including Shakira, Teresa and Joe Giudice and Mike 'The Situation' have been accused of tax-related offenses.  (Getty Images) Here is a look at other celebrities who have been convicted or faced tax-related offenses.
