I know someone like that, not filing taxes for 3 years… Only without the however hundred million yen income…
It was psychological. Fell behind one year because too busy with work, then feel guilty about the next year, then hey this not filing taxes makes life easier and saves a lot of time, then the nasty letters from the government started showing up.
I mean, it was for tax evasion. Its not like she was a pedophile or serial killer or something.
Yeah, it isn’t super clear just from headlines, but it is unlikely she will actually serve time in prison. She was given a suspended sentence. So, as long as she doesn’t commit any similar offenses in the next three years, she will have been considered as having served her time without actually going to prison.
Ah. Tax evasion.
Japan is really harsh on that, to the point you seem to keep seeing people who suddenly have a spike in income fuck it up and get sentenced on technicalities.
Sorry for posting so much in this thread, but this is good news! Japanese businesses have completely disassociated themselves with an individual’s works over prison sentences before, glad to see that this isn’t the case here.
Nothing to be sorry about mate
