South Korean actress Han Hyo Joo has emerged with shocking news. She was accused of not paying taxes in a fantastic amount. A news portal called Aju News wrote that the cast of the Korean drama Happiness was in arrears of paying taxes in the amount of 70 million Won.
This figure is equivalent to 70 million Won around IDR 817 million. The unpaid tax figure was revealed from data issued by the Seoul Regional Tax Office (Seoul Regional Tax Office). After previously the tax office conducted an extraordinary audit of Han Hyo Joo.
This is of course somewhat surprising considering that Han Hyo Joo is still active in the world of acting with a series of works over the past few years. Not wanting this problem to become too big, BH Entertainment's management finally issued their official statement. "The tax audit that was carried out on Han Hyo Joo was an ordinary audit, not an extraordinary or special audit.
There were no important issues, arrears, or actions to avoid paying taxes," said management on Tuesday June 13, 2023. "It's just that, in the process of further tracing, there was a calculation error in the report which caused a number of figures to be paid for Han Hyo Joo to appear.
But we have carried out our tax responsibilities until now. Moreover, Han Hyo Joo was once an ambassador for the National Tax Service in in 2011 and he also paid taxes responsibly until he was made an example by the president for paying taxes regularly. There has never been an incident involving taxes," continued BH Entertainment.
At the end, they also emphasized that in the future the artist will continue to pay taxes according to his obligations. Including management will do the same thing. Han Hyo Joo became one of the actresses who was dragged into tax allegations after the same thing happened to several big names.
For example, Lee Byung Hun, Kwon Wang Woo, and Kim Tae Hee had undergone an audit to ensure that there were no taxes in arrears. From year to year, celebrity tax problems often arise. Luckily, BH Entertainment's management immediately straightened out the news about Han Hyo Joo.
