National Tax Service Begins Special Tax Audit of Hana Financial and Hana Bank

South Korea’s National Tax Service has reportedly begun a non-regular special tax audit of Hana Financial Group and Hana Bank. The audit comes four years after Hana Financial underwent a regular tax audit in 2022 and is described as a special, non-scheduled investigation rather than a routine review. According to the original report, no further details have been confirmed regarding the specific background, scope, or issues under examination. As the audit targets both a financial holding company and a bank, attention is expected to focus on how the investigation proceeds and how Hana Financial responds. Source: mk.co.kr
