A 41-year-old proprietor of a gigolo escort service named “Tokyo Secret Base” which offers outcall massage services across Japan to female clients has been busted for tax evasion.
The accused concealed approximately 30million yen($197,00USD) in income tax according to person(s) involved in the case, with an additional 120million yen($788,00USD) for corporate taxes totaling 150million yen($985,000USD)
According to sources, the accused concealed his income by failing to report the stores earnings since it opened in 2017. The National Tax Agency reports that a new management company named “HKC” took over the business in 2020 and continued paying the accused large sums of money as outsourcing fees when no actual outsourcing was taking place.
Further investigations revealed that several male therapists whose job it was to massage the female clients failed to report their substantial earnings subjecting them to additional tax payments.
HKC responded in an interview, “Following the Tax Agencies advice, amended tax returns have been submitted and paid. Our therapists have been instructed to file proper tax returns also”.
