Real estate rich people who hide billions of wealth with bitcoin… 33.6 billion won collected (total)

[세종=이데일리 최훈길 기자] Delinquent A, who was not paying high taxes, sold real estate located in Gyeonggi-do for 4.8 billion won and made profits. After that, he did not pay the capital gains tax (1.2 billion won) and concealed 1.2 billion won as a virtual asset.

Mr. B, a large delinquent, is a business operator running a hospital in Gangnam, Seoul. Mr. B survived without paying 2.7 billion won in arrears while living a luxurious life, such as living in an expensive apartment. He hid the revenue of 3.9 billion won as a virtual asset.

In a briefing at the Government’s Sejong 2nd Office on the 15th, Jung Cheol-woo, head of the Taxation and Taxation Affairs Bureau at the National Tax Service, said, “We will trace and return the hidden property of the high-liquid payment until the end. [사진=연합뉴스]

Delinquents who concealed their assets with virtual assets such as bitcoin were caught. They secretly held real estate transfer income, business income, and inherited and gifted property as virtual assets, but were collected in a pile.

The National Tax Service announced on the 15th that it collected about 36.6 billion won in cash and secured bonds for 2416 high-payers who concealed their assets with virtual assets. Of these, 222 have been confirmed suspected of evading additional forced collection, such as concealing other property, and are undergoing follow-up investigation.

This is the first time that a delinquent person who has concealed his property as a virtual asset is subject to compulsory collection. The National Tax Service collected the current status of virtual assets of high-payers from virtual asset exchanges and discovered them after a follow-up investigation for more than one year.

The IRS seized the withdrawal or refund claims held by the virtual asset owner on the exchange. Delinquents, who were unable to convert their virtual assets into cash due to the foreclosure, paid arrears in cash or dispose of virtual currency to pay back taxes.

Recently, as investors flock to virtual assets, new disaster concealment techniques such as bitcoin are being followed. Virtual asset investors increased from 1.2 million last year to 1.59 million this year, and the average daily transaction amount increased from 1 trillion won last year to 8 trillion won this year.

The National Tax Service decided to report the concealed property of large or habitual arrears and pay a reward if it leads to collection. The reward is 5% to 20% of the amount collected. The maximum amount of rewards is 2 billion won. You can report it to the National Tax Service website or the National Tax Consultation Center (126 without area code).

National Tax Service Commissioner Kim Dae-ji said, “We will strictly respond to anti-social arrears that hinder the atmosphere of faithful tax payment.”

“The National Tax Service will quickly respond to the increasingly intelligent property concealment activity,” said Jung Cheol-woo, head of the Taxation Law Bureau.
