Effective Requirements of Tax Officials’ Accusation
Since a tax official’s accusation against a tax offense case requires that the person subject to it is specified, if only the facts, such as “the name and omitted name of ○○○,” etc., are stated in the written accusation by the head of the tax office, it cannot be deemed that it is an accusation against the defendant.

The prosecutor’s summary grounds of appeal are examined.
According to Article 6 of the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act, offenses provided for in the same Act shall be discussed by raising a complaint against the Commissioner of the National Tax Service, the director of a regional tax office, or public officials engaged in tax affairs. According to Articles 8, 9 and 12 of the Procedure for the Punishment of Tax Evaders Act, the Commissioner of the National Tax Service, the director of a regional tax office, and the head of a tax office shall, in principle, notify the offender of the payment of the amount equivalent to a fine or a minor fine when he/she obtains a conviction. When the offender complies with the notification, the case shall be resolved ultimately: Provided, That if the offender does not comply with the notification period, he/she shall be accused if the offender does not have sufficient capacity to perform the act as notified, or if the offender is deemed to have failed to flee, or if the destruction of evidence is likely to escape, the court below's judgment on the charges shall be deemed to have been made immediately, and the appeal shall not be deemed to have been made with the same reasons for appeal as the first instance, and it shall not be deemed to have any error in the judgment on the remaining grounds for appeal.
