office worker, A, established a corporation with one shareholder with a capital of 1 million won, and then bought an expensive apartment in Seoul with borrowed money.

Mr. A borrowed the apartment again as collateral and bought a number of concessions and apartments.

The Internal Revenue Service considers Mr. A to have escaped the tax while receiving a shortcut from his father.

The National Tax Service has decided to conduct a tax investigation on 413 people who are suspicious of tax evasion related to real estate transactions, such as Mr. A.

Among them, 197 people in their 30s and 39 people in their 20s or younger were under 30, accounting for 57%, more than half.

62 young people who acquired high-value real estate without income, decided to conduct a tax investigation because they found suspicious donation through the fund source analysis system.

11 brokers charged with real estate investment through YouTube and blogs were accused of missing commissions while brokering many real estate transactions.

In addition, eight planned real estates that acquired land near the planned development site in the metropolitan area at a low price and sold at high prices with false and exaggerated advertisements are also subject to investigation.

As of June 17, as the countermeasures against real estate have been expanded, the targets for tax investigation by the National Tax Service are expected to increase as the target for fiscal proposals and supporting documents has been expanded since September.
