Hyosung Group has spent more than 40 billion won to defend corporate corruption related to the total number of households, and many of them are concentrated lawyers from prosecutors and senior officials. Hyosung claims that there is no problem, but the Internal Revenue Service seems to be paying 10 billion won each to Honorary Chairman Cho Suk-rae and Chairman Cho Hyun-joon, judging that it is problematic to treat the attorney's fees accordingly. However, this was not the only aspect of Hyosung's family that was revealed through the tax audit of the National Tax Service.

I will tell you more details.

The Hyosung Group argues that there is no problem with attorneys' expenses for the company's family members, which is a defense activity for the company.

However, the judgment of the IRS was different.

It is not fair cost for the corporation, but considerable amount of 40 billion won is the total number of households, the mistake which is spared for each person.

Since the individuals have benefited so much, the Internal Revenue Service has temporarily concluded that it will take 9.7 billion won for Honorary President Seok-rae and 9.8 billion won for Chairman Cho Hyun-joon as personal income tax.

[Prof. Ahn Chang Nam / Professor, Kangnam University Economic Taxation Department: When judging from the viewpoint of the taxation office (Hyosung Group), the lawyer's cost is judged to be the burden of the individual who has nothing to do with the profits of the company.

There is another case that was reported to have been used for personal use.

It is a forest named in the name of Chairman Cho Hyun-joon of Wonje-dong, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.

There is a memorial hall memorializing the founder Jo-hong Jeon.

[RESIDENT]: There is a museum inside. There was a museum and people seemed to be able to afford meals.]

It is the place where the total number of family members is used for private purposes. It is revealed that Hyosung is all from the construction of the memorial hall to the operation cost, and the tax office will charge the tax.

The National Tax Service recognizes that the company has also paid 36 million won for the alumni association of the Japanese university graduated by honorary president Cho Seok-rae.

Hyosung's tax evasion charges, which the Internal Revenue Service has learned so far during the tax investigation process, are expected to reach 300 billion won.

Hyosung said that it is different from the facts and that it sincerely calls the Internal Revenue Service.
