NTS likely to order Samsung to pay additional tax

Feb. 13, 2012 - 10:25 By

South Korea's tax agency will likely order Samsung Electronics Co. to pay at least 100 billion won (US$89.04 million) in unreported tax and related penalties, sources said Monday.

The order will be made soon as the National Tax Service (NTS) is wrapping up its regular tax audit this week into the nation's largest electronics giant. The examination started in July last year.

The amount that Samsung has to pay has yet to be determined but it will be well over 100 billion won, the sources said. That is much higher than the 18 billion won the company was ordered to pay following a regular tax audit in the second half of 2007.

Samsung is expected to appeal such a payment order by the NTS as both reportedly have very different views on the results of the audit, the sources said. (Yonhap News)

삼성전자 1천억 이상 세금 추징금 받을 듯

국세청이 세무조사가 막바지에 이른 삼성전자에 1천억원 이상의 세금 추징을 통보할 것으로 전망된다.

13일 국세청과 전자업계에 따르면 국세청은 작년 7월부터 계속된 정기 세무조사를 이번주 중 마무리하고 조만간 1천억원에서 수천억원 규모의 추징금을 확정할 계획인 것으로 알려졌다.

이 정도 추징액은 삼성전자가 앞서 2007년 하반기 세무조사 때 받은 180억원보다 최소한 5배 이상 많은 것이다.

국세청은 작년 12월 중순 종료할 예정이었던 삼성전자 세무조사 기간을 이달 중순까지 한차례 연장한 상태다.

국세청과 삼성전자 간에 과세 규모를 둘러싼 의견 차이가 커 이번에 추징액이 확정되더라도 삼성전자가 불복해 법적 공방을 벌일 것으로 예상된다.
