2023-12-06 Hmmm...they don't have to pay taxes even if it's over 10 million yen, let alone 200,000 yen... [長年日記]

Q1: There has been a lot of talk about kickbacks from LDP political groups. Please tell me what kind of problems these kickbacks can cause.

Q2: Which law would this kickback activity violate?

Q3: Please specify only the laws of our country and, if possible, also the text of the articles.

Q4: Please estimate the conflicting articles, limited to the Political Funds Control Law.

Q5: Are kickback funds taxable in nature?

Q6: In other words, is it correct to say that there is no report on the funds obtained through kickbacks, meaning that tax evasion has occurred?

-----

What I wanted to know, at the bottom, is the answer to this last question (Q6).

ChatGPT: "Yes, if you do not report the funds obtained from kickbacks and do not declare them taxable to the tax authorities, it may be considered an act of tax evasion."

ChatGPT: "Tax evasion is a serious legal offense and a violation of tax law."

ChatGPT: "Failure to properly report taxes and avoid paying them is a criminal offense in many countries."

-----

To derive an answer from ChatGPT, we must repeat these questions and answers to elicit the answer.

It is a bit tedious but much more helpful than bulletin boards and social networking sites.

That aside.

------

Recently, I have been limiting my writing activities, so I don't file tax returns, but even so, if the amount exceeds 200,000 yen, I file a self-report and pay the additional tax.

Hmmm...they don't have to pay taxes even if it's over 10 million yen, let alone 200,000 yen...

They can do that kind of thing.

And such persons are members of our country's parliament.

Being a Member of Parliament is wonderful.

(If I have misunderstood the interpretation of the kickback, anyone is welcome to point it out. I will publish your remarks through the Ebata Firewall.)
