While singer and actor Cha Eun-woo is embroiled in allegations of income tax evasion worth 20 billion won, incumbent lawyers have delivered analysis related to this.
On the 26th, a video titled "Cha Eun-woo's Investigation into 20 billion tax evasion allegations, Why it's not an issue to be overlooked" was posted on the YouTube channel of Law Law Firm.
On this day, lawyers Lee Tae-ho and Lee Won-hwa released an analysis on Cha Eun-woo's alleged evasion of 20 billion won.
Lawyer Lee Tae-ho said, "The paper company does not have physical or human facilities. If you go to such a place, there is nothing at all. In fact, (Cha Eun-woo's) mother would not do anything like the CEO of the agency," he claimed.
Regarding the reason why the Seoul Regional Tax Office Investigation Bureau 4 was put in, lawyer Lee Won-hwa said, "This is not a department that conducts regular tax audits," adding, "It is a special tax investigation organization that is put in charge of tax evasion reports or slush funds." It is a department that deals with large corporations, high-income people, political and business-related people, and large tax evasion cases. He explained, "He is also nicknamed the Grim Reaper of the business world."
"The fact that the four investigative countries were put in is not just an accounting error, but it should be considered that some of the allegations that they committed tax evasion have been detected," he said.
Lawyer Lee Tae-ho said, "The tax authorities are said to be a little aggressive and aggressive in some cases," adding, "We will have to wait until the end for the results on this part." If it's just the stage of notification of additional collection, it's really a first-time entry," he said, also cautiously.
Recently, it was revealed that Cha Eun-woo was notified of more than 20 billion won in tax collection by the National Tax Service, which caused a big stir. In the first half of last year, it was reported that it was investigated by the Seoul Regional Tax Office on tax evasion charges.
In particular, the National Tax Service judged that tax evasion was carried out through corporation A established by Cha Eun-woo's mother. Cha Eun-woo reportedly worked in a structure in which his agency Fantagio and his mother's corporation A signed a service contract to support entertainment activities, and the profits were divided and attributed to Fantagio, the corporation, and Cha Eun-woo.
The National Tax Service believes that corporation A was deemed inappropriate to perform entertainment management tasks and used a trick to disperse income through a non-substantial "paper company." Cha Eun-woo signed a service contract with a separate family company in addition to his existing agency Fantagio, which was applied with a lower corporate tax rate of more than 20 percentage points instead of the income tax rate of 45 percent.
Cha Eun-woo, who is currently serving in the military, said on social media on the 26th, "With this incident, as a citizen of the Republic of Korea
Whether my attitude toward tax obligations was strict enough,
He said, "I am looking back on myself and reflecting deeply," adding, "I will faithfully work on the tax-related procedures that are going on in the future. In addition, we will humbly accept the results according to the final judgment made by the relevant institution and fulfill our responsibilities accordingly.
In this regard, Fantagio said, "The main issue is whether the corporation established by Cha Eun-woo's mother is subject to real taxation," adding, "It is not currently finalized and announced, and we will actively explain issues related to legal interpretation and application in accordance with due process."
