Suspicion of elimination due to down contract and family chance
Income omission due to’split room’ rental
On the 7th, the National Tax Service launched a high-intensity tax investigation on 358 suspected illegal real estate transactions such as evasion of gift tax. Recently, the National Tax Service has stepped up as Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki and Minister of Strategy and Finance declared that “we will focus all our capabilities on stabilizing the real estate market”.
A total of 358 people were suspected of tax evasion that the National Tax Service detected this time. By type, in the process of acquiring high-priced houses and shopping centers, the number of suspected evasions was the highest with 209, who paid less taxes through contracts for down-selling rights or expedient gifts. There were also 51 suspects who were believed to have acquired funds for housing purchases by acquiring multiple houses even though there is no clear reported income.
In addition, there were 32 owners who acquired a house by withdrawing money from the company and a rental company who illegally remodeled the house (splitting a room) to lease and omit cash sales.After receiving cash as if they had borrowed money from their family, etc. 66 people were suspected of buying a house with this money.
An official from the National Tax Service said, “I made up a financing plan by borrowing the acquired funds from relatives, but in reality, I confirmed a number of cases that were confirmed as donations or the fact that real estate was acquired with the leaked funds due to omission of reporting business income. In this case, we will directly verify the funding ability of our relatives and track the flow of funds to the end.” In addition, the policy of the National Tax Service is to check whether the borrowings of relatives are repaid on their own even if they are verified as appropriate. Accordingly, it is pointed out that in the real estate industry, purchasers of high-priced apartments or multi-homes with more than 2 billion won should be viewed as being virtually exhaustive.
