National Tax Service conducted a intensive investigation of 800 people who had money but still held up without paying taxes.

In fact, when I visited someone who said they couldn't pay taxes, there were many cases where they hid money and luxury goods in expensive houses and stayed luxuriously.



Reporter Jeong Seong-jin reported.

police even mobilized to find a residence for the largely delinquent, but the door was not opened.



[Staff in charge of delinquency: I will be forced



to open the door because

I did not respond to the request

to open the door

.] I

lived in an elevated apartment in Seoul where I made a rent contract in the name of my spouse after moving to

my

hometown.



[Delinquent person: Don't come in.

This is not my home...

.

(I confirmed that the teacher resides.)] I



did not pay the transfer tax of 500 million won, but in the bag in the closet, 20 bundles of 50,000 won, or about 100 million won, were found.



He transferred 400 million won to his spouse over 40 times and hid it.



The lawyer, who said he had no income and did not have the money to pay the income tax, was found to live in a 300m2 super high-priced apartment and drive a luxury foreign car.



From bookcases to money bags, safes to pure gold, and closets to luxury bags, 200 million won worth of money poured out.



32 checks worth 10 million won came out from the house of a delinquent in their 80s who said they didn't have money to pay the property transfer tax.



The IRS has selected 812 such malicious high-payers for investigation.



In many cases, property was stolen under the name of relatives and acquaintances, so we decided to thoroughly verify the source of the funds through financial inquiries about relatives.

Until August this year

, the amount of arrears

collected by the National Tax Service or secured bonds exceeded KRW 1.5 trillion. .



From next year, it is a position that we will take strict response to those who are habitual and delinquent in detention for up to 30 days.
