Paju authorities have made it clear that they want to pursue tax evaders’ assets and punish them accordingly. The measure, according to authorities, makes it quite obvious that people can’t utilize cryptocurrency as a means to conceal their wealth.
Moreover, Yonhap reported that a growing number of South Koreans are using cryptocurrency as a cover to avoid paying back their debts. Seizing cryptocurrency held by tax evaders is nothing new for the Paju tax officers. Authorities in Paju confiscated cryptocurrency belonging to tax evaders on July 29th, valued at 100 million won (about $72,000).
Authorities have said that the decision to confiscate cryptocurrency from exchanges is based on the fact that individuals are knowingly shifting their wealth into digital assets in order to avoid paying taxes, even if they are financially capable of doing so. People allegedly turned their money into cryptocurrency so they wouldn’t have to pay taxes.
