TOKYO (Jiji Press) — The total amount of taxable income that companies failed to declare in the year through June fell 32.3% from the previous year to ¥528.6 billion, the National Tax Agency said Tuesday.
The amount of back taxes and penalties stood at ¥120.7 billion, down 26.6%, according to the agency. The number of cases investigated by the agency dropped 67.3% to 25,000, hitting a record low for the second consecutive year amid the novel coronavirus epidemic.
