191. Restriction
Yoo Dong-hyeon, head of the National Tax Service’s Investigation Team 1, couldn’t hide his embarrassment at the first time he was hit.
Under normal circumstances, when conducting a tax audit at a company that conducts a tax audit (which is also a targeted, high-intensity planned tax audit), the following would be said.
‘There’s no use hiding it! Bring them all!’
‘The excuse that the computer is broken doesn’t work. Bring me a broken computer!’
This is because most companies have their own pockets.
It was even harder to find a company where there was no corruption related to the owner’s money.
In addition, mistakes such as slush funds or fraudulent accounting occurred more frequently in larger companies.
So, to him, a tax investigation is a company that hides even a single piece of data.
I thought it was a kind of battle where I had to find something.
But here, Hermes Telecom was a little different.
“Is there anything else you need?”
“Well···. If I need anything else, I’ll tell you.”
“Then don’t you need something more to drink?”
“If you need more of that, I will tell you.”
“All right.”
Yoo Dong-hyun sighed as he looked at the ledgers piled up on his desk.
Hermes Telecom’s accounting team employees continued to bring documents without a break for an hour.
It had already been 15 years since he had worked at the National Tax Service.
In the meantime, I have audited and audited countless companies and conducted tax investigations, but this was the first time.
“What are you all doing? Let the review begin.”
“Yep. manager.”
Yoo Dong-hyeon and his team began to carefully check the stacked documents.
.
A few hours pass.
“It’s me.”
“No, what the hell is this, chief?”
“So it is.”
Yoo Dong-hyeon and his teammates couldn’t hide their feelings of collapse.
“really···. No one?”
“Is this even possible?”
“Because it is possible, we suffered.”
It was the moment when hours of hard work were in vain.
In these numerous documents, they could not find a single misconduct.
smart-
Then someone knocked and two young men entered the conference room where Yoo Dong-hyeon was checking documents.
“hello. You are suffering.”
“Chairman Yun Ho-young!”
Yoo Dong-hyeon jumped up from his seat without realizing it.
Even though Yun Ho-yeong is 20 years younger than himself, it is because he has developed a sense of awe without even realizing it.
“I should have greeted the guests, but now I came down with the excuse that I was busy. Greetings. This is Yun Ho-young.”
Hoyoung held out his hand with a confident attitude, and Yoo Donghyun unknowingly grabbed it with both hands.
It was because he was overwhelmed by Hoyeong’s confident appearance.
“Is there anything else you need? Oops! We create all documents as physical files, but also create our own internal server to back up all documents there. Of course, I create and maintain files in Hangul or Hancell. Would you like to check that too?”
“Oh, no. If you’ve seen this far, I think you’ve seen enough.”
“You’ve seen enough. Aren’t you doing a tax investigation for the national finances? You should look more closely.”
Yoo Dong-hyeon was embarrassed by this situation.
A strange situation was happening that the owner of the company asked for a closer look, but he refused.
“It’s really fine. Tax really… You pay meticulously. It’s really great.”
“It is the basic of all the basics of any company. It’s really embarrassing to be praised for just such a thing.”
If you just listen to Hoyoung’s words, he was very humble, but his expression and tone were not at all.
No matter who heard it, it was a boastful tone that said, “I’m doing very well.”
“Then we will withdraw now.”
“I heard that they also confiscate and take away documents and the like for review.
“yes. Yes. That’s companies that have obscured their ledgers, or created double ledgers. In cases where it is difficult to grasp the documents in a short time, I take them and examine them more carefully. By the way···. I don’t think that’s necessary here.”
Yoo Dong-hyeon let out a laugh mixed with a bit of self-defense as if he was laughing even while he was talking.
“Is that so? haha. You worked really hard today, can I treat you to dinner?”
“no. If we had dinner together today, we would be misunderstood.”
“Then there is nothing you can do. Let’s have a meal together next time.”
In the end, Yoo Dong-hyeon had no choice but to go back without getting anything.
He thought as he trudged back to the IRS.
‘What on earth did the commissioner think about doing a tax investigation here?’
And after returning to the National Tax Service, Yoo Dong-hyeon reported what happened today to the head of the National Tax Service without hesitation.
The head of the National Tax Service was shocked by what happened today.
It was the first time in his 26-year IRS career that this had happened.
In all the tax investigations he has done so far, no company has been so clean.
Even if all the taxes were paid, at least they caught the pods for not properly preparing the documents and gave a warning.
‘If there is a complaint about this, it gets complicated…’
Of course, a complaint does not mean that a big deal will happen immediately,
He was extremely wary of anything happening during his tenure as head of the IRS.
The head of the National Tax Service thought as he blew out smoke with a complicated mind.
‘What on earth was the minister thinking when he ordered the tax investigation?’
.
.
.
“ha ha ha. Did something like that happen?”
“That’s right. dismissal. It is said to be the first time that a tax audit was completed in less than six hours. It is said that the investigation team also judged that there was nothing more to see. It was organized so well that it was quick to check.”
President Kim Il-sam laughed heartily after hearing the words of Choi Kyu-shik, chief of staff to the President.
“Has this ever happened to you before?”
“There are small companies, but this has never been the case with midsize or larger companies. There was a similar thing in a limited company the year before last, but I received a weak discipline for a minor tax omission.”
“okay. good.”
President Kim Il-sam thought about something for a while and continued with a smile.
“Companies that do wrong are fined or punished. Then shouldn’t we reward companies that are doing well?”
“Yes… Joe?”
“good. Then, let’s commend Hermes Telecom as an excellent taxpayer. How long is the end of the year? Why don’t we proceed with the feeling of the year-end awards ceremony?”
Choi Gyu-sik pondered for a moment and nodded.
“That sounds like a good idea. Why don’t we give you an exceptional benefit at this time?”
“Benefits?”
“yes. In the future, if we hold an annual award ceremony for excellent taxpayers and provide good benefits, wouldn’t it be a good precedent for other companies to receive awards for excellent taxpayers?”
“ha ha ha. If you don’t evade taxes, will the country take care of that much for you?”
“Exactly.”
President Kim Il-sam smiled and nodded, as if he liked Choi Kyu-shik’s opinion.
Although he is the president, he did not want his subordinates to unilaterally give orders and blindly follow his words.
Choi Kyu-sik, who actively expresses his opinions like now, liked him.
“good. Then let’s proceed like that.”
“Yep.”
“And one more thing…”
“Tell me.”
President Kim Il-sam said with his eyes shining.
“Please tell the Minister of Finance to come here tomorrow morning. We need to talk.”
“All right. dismissal.”
Choi Gyu-sik felt that President Kim Il-sam was somehow intimidating when he spoke in this tone.
.
.
.
Jo Nam-shik was terrified.
‘Why the hell is there no contact?’
Nearly a month has already passed since Cho Nam-sik met the Minister of Finance and Economy.
But after that, no news was heard.
Even when he called the Minister of Finance, he did not answer.
‘I’ve heard that the tax investigation is going on, but…’
There was no news about whether the tax investigation had started or not.
Jo Nam-sik sighed and opened the newspaper.
It was his job to check the newspaper every morning, because if the tax investigation had started, there would surely be something in the news.
He may inquire about Hermes from the reporters and newspaper employees he has paid so far, but if a tax investigation case breaks out while he is investigating Hermes’ background, he will surely be able to guess that it has something to do with him.
So he quietly waited for something to be published in the newspaper to minimize suspicion.
Today, I turn over the newspaper without expectations…
“What?!”
When he turned to page 4, he found an article about Hermes Telecom on it, just as he had hoped.
There are also articles related to taxes.
“All right!”
He began to read the article with a sense of hope.
However, his hopes were shattered the moment he read the headline.
[Hermes Telecom. As a result of the tax investigation, not a single case of cheating was found.]
– Although an intense tax investigation was conducted on Hermes Telecom, not a single case of cheating, tax evasion, or tax payment was found. Accordingly, the government decided to select and commend the company as an excellent taxpayer of the year. If selected as an excellent taxpayer company, corporate tax is reduced and customs clearance procedures are simplified in the case of overseas export companies…
“what is this sound?!”
Bang the desk! and shouted.
Not a single case of cheating was found.
Does that sound realistic?
If a tax investigation comes in, nothing cannot be discovered, so it was best to induce only the minimum to be discovered.
However, he had made a request to the Minister of Finance.
Make small mistakes bigger and bigger mistakes bigger.
“How did Yun Ho-young boil and eat the IRS employees?! How much did I feed this old man until now…!”
The Minister of Finance and Equipment was a person who had been steadily putting effort into Jo Nam-sik since he was a member of the first term.
It is clear that ten boxes of apples would have been enough for the money he had spent so far.
Clearly, he judged that his ambitions would not stop at ministering.
that is so.
‘Did he betray me and become attached to Yun Ho-young!’
It was a reasonable enough idea.
Right now, Hermes Telecom, H&H, and Yoon Ho-young are gaining national recognition and popularity.
However, he soon found out that his prediction was wrong again in the next four pages.
[Minister of Finance. Resigned after one year of term of office
“this···. What is this again?”
He couldn’t possibly comprehend the current situation.
There was no specific reason given in the article.
It was only written that he was resigning for personal reasons.
thump-
“Boo, Vice President! Are you there?!”
At that time, Jo Nam-shik’s secretary knocked… No, he knocked on the door.
“why. What’s up?”
“Sleep, you can’t come in for a while…”
bang-
The door to Jo Nam-shik’s room was smashed open, and dozens of people rushed into his room.
“Who are you guys?!”
“Mr. Jo Nam-sik. You are currently under arrest on charges of slush fund creation and embezzlement. You have the right to have an attorney, have the opportunity to defend yourself, and have the right to appeal to the court for a review of your arrest.”
“what?”
“Since you have face, I won’t wear silver bracelets. Please follow me this way.”
“seizure? slush funds?! What bullshit is this now…!”
“If you refuse, we will have no choice but to take you by force.”
He tried to vent his anger once more, but he thought he couldn’t be led like a dog here.
“Whoa… go on my feet take the lead.”
