Media group, tax service head continue verbal spar : National : Home

Media group, tax service head continue verbal spar [Hankyoreh]: "Newspaper says audit is political; tax head says same about media investigation of his son

Remarks by the commissioner of the National Tax Service (NTS) against a media outlet have ignited controversy. During an interview published in the March edition of the Monthly JoongAng magazine, NTS dommissioner Jeon Goon-pyo said a media outlet which was currently being audited by the NTS was lashing back at him through 'retaliatory coverage.' Though Jeon did not reveal the name of the media organization, observers said he was referring to the Chosun Ilbo, which has been under recent investigation related to inheritance and gift tax practices."
