On September 19, Field News reported that the Gangnam Tax Bureau Investigation Department, under the Seoul National Tax Service, conducted a tax investigation into MC Yoo Jae-seok for several weeks from June to July, but found no allegations of tax return errors.
According to the report, the tax audit was a normal general tax audit of high-income people such as celebrities, but it was conducted more intensively than ever considering the building worth tens of billions of won purchased by Yoo Jae-seok in the past and his annual income.
The tax agency conducted extensive investigations into a number of tax items, including high contribution fees and expenses, as well as the building purchased by Yoo. However, despite the tax agency conducting an intensive investigation, no charges were found against Yoo for willful omission of taxes or tax evasion.
An official from the assessment agency told the media, “We could not find any charges, such as missing taxes,” adding, “It is no exaggeration to say that his tax return is also a national treasure.”
Meanwhile, the National Tax Service launched an irregular tax investigation on celebrities, athletes, and webtoon creators early last year. In addition, the National Tax Service launched irregular tax investigations on actors Kwon Sang-woo, Lee Byung-hun, actress Han Hyo-joo, and comedian Park Na-rae, and collected taxes ranging from tens of millions to billions of won.
