Tax Criminal Defense

In tax offense cases — tax evasion, false tax invoices, and more —
we provide expert representation from investigation response through to trial defense.

01

Overview

Tax crimes encompass criminal cases related to taxation — including violations of the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act (tax evasion, issuance and receipt of false tax invoices) and aggravated tax evasion under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes. Expertise in both tax law and criminal law is required across the entire process — from NTS tax offense investigations through prosecutorial referral, indictment, and trial.

PYEONG AN's NTS Investigation Bureau-background tax specialists and former prosecutor special unit criminal defense attorneys work in close collaboration to support clients through the entire tax crime case process — formulating defense strategies at the tax offense investigation stage, responding to prosecutorial investigations, and conducting trial defense.
