Lee Min Ho Denies Rumours That He Evaded S$1.2mil Worth Of Taxes

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Fan Bingbing’s notorious tax evasion scandal, it’s… well, to pay your damn taxes, especially if you’re famous and raking in loads of moolah. And this isn’t something that only Chinese celebs — or Taiwan-based ones, for that matter — have come under scrutiny for.

Recently, South Korean media reported that a well-known actor was suspected of evading taxes amounting to as high as 1bil won (S$1.2mil) by setting up a company under his family’s name and taking advantage of the difference in tax rates between corporations and high-earning individuals.

Basically, he ‘reduced’ his own income and ‘increased’ his agency’s earnings to pay fewer taxes, and then lowered the company’s taxes by using credit cards and imported vehicles as corporate expenses. He is currently being investigated by the National Tax Service.
