In response to a tax evasion case in which a former employee of a major general contractor Kajima Construction did not file a tax return for more than 200 million yen received from a subcontractor over the reconstruction project of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Ministry of the Environment told the construction industry group. Requested thorough compliance in writing.
A former sales manager of Kajima's Tohoku branch is tax evading about 220 million yen without filing a tax return, including a reward received from a subcontractor, for the construction of dismantling a damaged building in Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture. In June, he was charged at home for violating the Income Tax Act.
In response to this incident, the Ministry of the Environment, which ordered the construction, called the executives of the Japan Federation of Construction Contractors and the National Construction Industry Association on the 13th, and Yasuhiro Muroishi, director of the Environmental Rehabilitation and Resource Recycling Bureau, said about the project to be carried out in Fukushima. We handed over a document requesting thorough compliance, saying that it would lead to the loss of social trust.
Regarding the reconstruction project after the Great East Japan Earthquake, it has become clear that other general contractor employees received excessive entertainment and cash from subcontractors.
Kenichiro Yoshioka, Managing Executive Officer of the Japan Federation of Construction Contractors, who received the document, said, "We will take it seriously and strive to ensure thorough compliance with member companies."
