This article says that there are 245 Koreans who built their company on Tax Heaven, like Virgin Island. Those 245 Koreans include Lee Soo-young, CEO of OCI, and his family. They say that this is just result of primary investigation, and they think there will be more people. It is not "illegal" to build their company on Tax Heavens, but it can led to tax evasion, so it is kind of problem. 

I don't understand why people don't want to pay taxes. Of course it is large money for those who earn a lot, but still they will get that much services. I think they must be very apprehensive right now. I will rather pay tax and live with comfortable mind.

  2. The more money you get, the more selfish you become. Try to live a happy life not a wealthy life.

  4. When I heard this news, Bank of Swiss suddenly came into my mind. Tax haven and anonymous trading are deeply associated with money related crimes, like money laundering and tax evasion. I hope not these kind of practices to be perpetuated.

  6. Yes, I agree with you. Those who earn a lot have to pay tax even more. There is controversial issue about the redistribution of the wealth. People who are rich don't want to pay more because money is what they earn by their working. However, in order to live in one country with the needy, they will have to help others not only for just helping others but for themselves.

  7. As we all know, it is a big problem that rich people have more opportunities to earn more money than poor people. It is truth. If it is not illegal, then i think there is no way to solve. It is going to happen again and again.

  8. Paying taxes is one of the important responsibilities people have. I also think that high-income people should pay more portion of their incomes.
