Actor Kwon Sang-woo's agency, Soo Company, once again announced its official position regarding the National Tax Service's tax investigation.
On the 3rd, Kwon Sang-woo's agency, Soo Company, said, "Regarding the 2020 National Tax Service tax investigation, there is a possibility of misunderstanding and incorrect information is being expanded and reproduced, so we want to correct it." Actor Kwon Sang-woo said, "Actor Kwon Sang-woo purchased five supercars owned by a corporation worth hundreds of millions of won and paid taxes." “The report that it was used for evasion is clearly untrue,” he said.
He continued, "At the time of the tax investigation, there were a total of 4 vehicles owned by Soo Company, including 1 domestic SUV and 1 sedan, and 1 imported SUV and 1 sedan. All four vehicles were driven for business purposes to and from the filming site, and in the tax investigation, they were classified as business vehicles. “We would like to inform you that there were no problems because it was recognized as a corporate vehicle,” he added.
Soo Company said, "Accordingly, the report that 'the vehicle in question was sold' is not true. Even after the tax investigation, we used it as a corporate vehicle for a while and sold it out of necessity," adding, "Actor Kwon Sang-woo has been paying taxes for a while." “I have been paying it faithfully,” he said.
In addition, "During the 2020 tax audit, the tax authorities requested an explanation regarding the attribution time of profits and losses, and there were differences in some attribution times, so I filed a revised report and paid voluntarily. There was no omission or evasion, but payment and refund occurred simultaneously. “We would like to inform you that a correction has been reported.”Below is the full official statement from Kwon Sang-woo's agency, Soo Company.hello.

At the time of the tax audit in 2020, the tax authorities requested an explanation regarding the attribution time of profits and losses, and there were differences in the attribution time for some, so I filed a revised report and voluntarily paid the tax. We would like to inform you that the corrected report was filed because payment and refund occurred simultaneously, rather than because there was an omission or evasion.
