The Brazil international is currently battling claims that he failed to declare some of his income before his Barcelona move in 2013.
The Brazilian court has now frozen the player's assets worth £33.1 million due to the tax evasion allegations.
The federal court which is located in Sao Paulo is accusing the Barcelona star of evading 63m Brazilian reals (£10.5m) between 2011 and 2013, prior to his move to La Liga.
The documentation of the case, presided over by Judge Carlos Muta, states Neymar is "solely responsible for his income declaration."
The documentation further reveals that the player only declared assets worth 19.6m (£3.2m).
However a judicial order has explained Neymar's assets indicating that the amount frozen was far in excess of the sum alleged to have been evaded in order to cover for potential interests and fines, and for security purposes.
Property and vehicles owned by Neymar as an individual and three companies he is the principal owner of, along with his father, are included in the order.
The player's parents have since released a statement through their one of their businesses, N & N consultancy, declaring themselves as the sole owners of the monies in question.
"Some explaining is required regarding the freezing of some R$ 118 of Neymar's finances. This is not tax evasion, it's an unfair accusation.
"Neymar is not an associate of either of the companies in question – how can he possibly declare funds he hadn't appropriated?"
