Can I receive a reward if I report tax evasion?

Yes, if you are aware of someone's clear tax evasion as in your case, you can report tax evasion to the National Tax Service and receive a reward.

The National Tax Service operates the 'Tax Evasion Reporting Reward System' to realize tax justice and fair taxation.

The reward limit is 4 billion won, and a certain payment rate (5-20%) is applied to the additional tax collected due to the tax evasion report.

The identity of the reporter is strictly protected under the Public Interest Reporter Protection Act, and reporting is also possible anonymously.

However, the report content must be specific and based on facts, and simple speculation or assumption-based information is not recognized.

Therefore, it is good to report after sufficiently securing tax evasion-related supporting materials (contracts, deposit records, conversation records, etc.).

Reports can be made through the 'Tax Evasion Reporting Center' on the National Tax Service website, or by visiting tax offices and calling 126.

It usually takes several months or more for reward payment, and the National Tax Service's investigation must be completed and the additional tax amount actually finalized.

Receiving expert advice during the reporting process allows for more systematic and safer reporting.
