IRS conducts a follow-up investigation on 812 malicious high-payers who hide their property under the name of their spouse or others and live in expensive apartments and do not pay taxes.

I open the locked drawer, I see a small envelope.
What was in the envelope was 32 checks of 10 million won, and the money from the sale of real estate was taken as a check, and the tax was arrears.
One delinquent, who reported that he had no money to pay taxes and reported living in a country house, remitted 400 million won to his spouse more than 40 times and lived in an elevated apartment in Seoul in the name of his spouse and continued his luxurious life.
Dozens of 50,000 won bills were found throughout the house.
The National Tax Service initiated a follow-up investigation on 812 malicious high-payers who hid their property in the name of their spouses or borrowed other people's business and did not pay taxes.
Since there are many cases where property is hidden through family members, we plan to thoroughly verify the source of funds by using financial inquiries for relatives.
If deliberate delinquency is detected, even supporters such as the arrears and family members are charged with evacuation for arrears and criminal penalties are also promoted.
The National Tax Service, which established the Delinquency Taxation Division this year, is working to eradicate large amounts of arrears by employing over 1,900 employees in charge of nonpayment.
From January to August of this year, through a follow-up investigation for arrears, a total of KRW 1.55 trillion was collected, and 290 people were accused of evacuating the disposition for arrears.
