A corporate officer in Chiba Prefecture, who sold bottled tiramisu widely on the Internet, was accused by the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau of evading tax of about 88 million yen by hiding part of the sales.
The accusation was made by Shigeo Hosoya, a 56-year-old former owner of a pastry shop in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture.
According to people familiar with the matter, Hosoya suspected that the bottled tiramisu was disguised as a low income by hiding a part of the sales sold at the department store's exhibition hall and the Internet.
The Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau's Inspection Department has filed a complaint with the Chiba District Public Prosecutors Office on suspicion of hiding income of more than 230 million yen and exempting income tax of about 88 million yen in the three years until the end of the year.
This tiramisu is sold for about 700 yen each, and it seems that Hosoya officer started fraudulent accounting processing while sales increased, and he said that he kept 150 million yen in cash in the safe deposit box of a financial institution. That is.
In response to an interview with NHK, Mr. Hosoya commented, "We have already filed an amendment and have paid the full amount of tax. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to many people."
