Regarding the alleged tax evasion of 20 billion won by Cha Eun-woo, a member of the group Astro and actor, some said that "support for entertainment activities is a key issue."
Recently, a video titled "Cha Eun-woo's Crisis, a genius in many ways," was posted on the YouTube channel "The Lawyer Who Knows."
Law firm Law & More said, "The fact that the National Tax Service hit Cha Eun-woo with an additional 20 billion won is that corporation A did not support Cha Eun-woo's entertainment activities, but his agency Fantagio paid money to corporation A in the name of supporting Cha Eun-woo's entertainment activities."
"The fact that the money to give to Cha Eun-woo flowed to corporation A was actually Cha Eun-woo's income, so the National Tax Service asked him to pay taxes properly," he said. "The key is to see if corporation A, which was founded by his mother, actually supported the activities. If you actually applied, it doesn't matter," he predicted.
Regarding the position of Cha Eun-woo's mother, who refuted, "It is not a paper company, but an official registration company," he said, "Paper company refers to something that has a form but has no substance. I didn't refute any of these things. You have to explain what you did. That way, it will not be a paper company," he pointed out.
Regarding the address of Ganghwa Island's eel restaurant in question, "I may think it's a little strange, but Ganghwa Island or an eel restaurant is not a problem. We will have to explain to the National Tax Service what we did," he said.
"This cannot happen unless you completely deceive Fantagio or (Fantagio) helps him," he said. "I think the amount will be large, but we will have to clarify that there was a service suitable for the amount." I think it should match the amount to some extent, he added.
Among them, legal experts say that if intentional tricks are revealed, they could face imprisonment or heavy fines for violating the Tax Offender Penalty Act.
Meanwhile, in the first half of last year, Cha Eun-woo was under intense investigation by the Seoul Regional Tax Office on tax evasion charges, and the National Tax Service recently notified about 20 billion won in tax collection.
"The main issue is whether the corporation established by Cha Eun-woo's mother is subject to real taxation," the agency Fantagio said. "It is not currently finalized and announced, and we will actively explain issues related to legal interpretation and application in accordance with due process."
Since then, Cha Eun-woo also said on social media on the 26th of last month, "I sincerely bow down and apologize for causing many people to be worried and disappointed by various things related to me recently. "With this incident, I am deeply reflecting on myself whether my attitude toward the duty of tax payment as a citizen of the Republic of Korea was strict enough," he said.
