<Anchor> Although
the authorities' verification of the funds to buy homes is strengthening, there are still people who are tricky to avoid paying taxes.
There were cases where information on paper was used for private equity funds, and in some cases, a contract was created to make a gap investment.

A real estate private equity fund has earned billions of won in rental income by buying more than 100 houses in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.
However, corporations that invested more than 90% of the funds in this private equity fund received dividends from the fund's income and did not pay any corporate tax.
This corporation was a paper company with a capital of 100 won, and investors made fake expenses to steal corporate funds.
They were speculating on real estate using private equity funds, and trying to pay corporate and income taxes using a paper company.
In order to avoid the heavy transfer tax imposed on multi-homed people, some people have been caught investing in gaps by forming a kind of gathering.
Five residents saved money and bought several apartments in Seoul, but they avoided the heavy transfer tax by putting the homeless person as the name of the apartment.
Among those in their 30s or younger who bought expensive apartments, 76 people whose funding source was unclear were also subjected to a tax audit.
Of these, 30 were foreign nationals Koreans, so-called'black-haired foreigners'.
