False Tax Invoice Detection Case | Client Involved in 3.5 Billion Won in False Tax Invoices Successfully Defended With a Suspended Sentence

🔗The Punishment of Tax Evaders Act is punished particularly severely.

Then, under which statute is the issuance of a false tax invoice punished?

The Daeryun specialized attorney team argued that the client was not aware of the fact that he was taking part in the offense of issuing false tax invoices.

In fact, the client was told by an acquaintance only that it was ‘simply work of issuing tax invoices and transferring employees’ salaries.’

The client merely performed work such as issuing or receiving tax invoices as instructed, without knowing whether the acquaintance and his associates had the purpose of evading taxes or committing economic crimes.

The Daeryun specialist attorney team argued that the loss the client suffered was greater than the benefit obtained from issuing the false tax invoices.

The client was supposed to receive 3 million won per month in return for receiving the false tax invoices, but he did not even receive this properly.

Because he was listed as the representative of a shell company, he paid all of the value-added tax and comprehensive income tax with his own money.

The client even lacked the money to pay the taxes and paid them by taking out a loan, so he was in a situation in which the harm exceeded the benefit obtained from issuing the false tax invoices.

Payment of taxes is an essential responsibility imposed on every citizen engaged in economic activity.

In particular, the issuance of false tax invoices is regarded as a serious crime that threatens the foundation of the value-added tax, which accounts for a large share of internal taxes, and it is punished all the more severely.

Where the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act has been violated, as in the issuance of false tax invoices, the degree of punishment varies depending on the preparation and process of proof, so obtaining the help of a specialist attorney is the safest course.
