The problem is that these unregistered payment agents are virtually free of crackdowns. These companies, which promote tax evasion with new methods, are crying out that it will not take unless they declare conscience.

Reporter Kwan-Jin Kim covered.

I went to the office of an unregistered PG company that was used in hospitals and photo studios.

[Unregistered PG company employee: Since the representative is the sales side and the merchant management side, you go back and forth to the merchant, but you are not here.]

As if they were notified that they could not meet, they were informed that the interview had begun, and they convinced the merchant to not respond to the interview.

[Unregistered PG company official: (SBS reporter) Because we have no basis and nothing, we went to the CEO. There is no objective evidence of evidence unless we (declare conscience). Now. indeed?]

Later, the company told reporters that they only provided tax services to help them handle expenses, and there was no fact that encouraged tax evasion.

Under the Electronic Financial Transactions Act, the industry is saying that unregistered PG companies are subject to imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 20 million won, but there is no risk of being caught unless they surrender.

[PG industry officials: (not registered) There is only a way for the two companies to embroider themselves. It will be very difficult to find all the tax portals.]

This is because the sales of individual merchants under unregistered PG companies are not notified to the National Tax Service.

Even if you catch signs of tax evasion and start investigating, just change your name after filing a business report and stop.

The National Tax Service is difficult to investigate even small companies due to human resources, and even collects unregistered companies.

[National Tax Service official: (Is it the FSS's question whether it is illegal or not?) Yes, it is.]

The Financial Supervisory Service says a criminal complaint can only be made with a report that has clear evidence.

[Attorney of Financial Supervisory Service: If clear evidence is submitted, we can file a complaint. Well, I'm accusing about 1-2 cases in 2-3 years ... .]

Undeclared PG companies, which are difficult to detect without a conscience declaration, are urgently required to tax evasion practices and institutional supplementation.
