Gyeonggi-do Seizes 170 Million KRW from Creator Delinquent on Local Taxes...

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province has identified hidden earnings of individual broadcast producers (creators) who have defaulted on local taxes and seized a total of over 170 million won.

From April to July, the province detected nine individual broadcast producers who had defaulted on local taxes and investigated their activity status and earnings through 10 domestic multi-channel network (MCN) operators where they are active. On the 13th, it announced that it had seized a total of 170 million won corresponding to the amount of tax arrears from the expected earnings through creator activities.

The local taxes unpaid by these nine individuals ranged from a minimum of 1 million won to a maximum of 129 million won.

The investigation was conducted by obtaining a list of about 5,000 creators with the cooperation of MCN companies under the Local Tax Basic Act, and then checking for matches with the list of local tax defaulters.

Creator A, who had defaulted on 3 million won in local income tax, was managed as an asset-less person with no earnings activities or real estate, making tax collection difficult.

However, when the province identified the expected earnings from creator activities that could be converted into cash and took seizure action, A voluntarily paid the overdue amount.

Creator B, who had defaulted on 18 million won in local income tax, is a creator with over 200,000 subscribers, and the province explained that it preemptively seized the expected revenue claims that could arise from future creator activities.
