The tax audit is reported to be related to the family’s inheritance tax after the death of the late Hanjin Group chairman Cho Yang-ho. Korean Air said, “It is not a regular tax audit conducted every five years.”
The Hanjin family, including Cho’s wife, former Ilwoo Foundation Chairman Lee Myung-hee, and son Cho Won-tae, reported an inheritance tax of about 270 billion won in 2019. They are distributing the inheritance tax six times over five years through the annuity system.
Chairman Cho Won-tae is known to have paid some of the inheritance tax by taking a loan of about 40 billion won last year using Hanjin Kal’s shares as collateral.
