The founders of companies that develop household goods brand "Afternoon Tea" were pointed out by the Tokyo National Taxation Bureau that they missed the declaration of profits from selling shares, and they were subject to taxation of about 8 billion yen. Last month, the office issued a ruling to revoke all dispositions, saying that the National Taxation Bureau's point was unfounded.
Regarding the sale of shares of the company "Sazaby League" that develops "afternoon tea" etc., the Tokyo National Taxation Bureau will raise about 21 billion yen in 2019, including the asset management company of the founder Rikuzo Suzuki and Chairman Masanori Mori. It was pointed out that there was an omission in the declaration, and an additional tax of about 8 billion yen was levied.
Former Chairman Suzuki and the asset management company paid the tax and, after filing the tax properly, requested the National Tax Tribunal, which receives a complaint from the taxpayer who is dissatisfied with the disposition, to examine it.
Regarding this, the National Tax Tribunal pointed out last month that the stock price at the time of sale claimed by the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau was "the grounds are not clear and the disposition is illegal", and the decision was made to revoke the disposition by acknowledging the allegations of former chairman Suzuki and others. I put it out.
The national tax side returned the tax of about 8 billion yen by adding a refund surcharge equivalent to interest.
The refund surcharge is estimated to be approximately 200 million yen.
Former Chairman Suzuki and Chairman Mori commented, "I am grateful for the proper decisions made by the relevant organizations, and I am truly relieved."
The Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau says, "We will refrain from answering individual cases."
Even if the court's decision is dissatisfied, the national tax side cannot appeal to the court, and this decision will be finalized.
