Samsung Heir's Inheritance Tax Reduced To 26 Trillion Won
Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Hong Ra-hee, and Lee Boo-jin and Lee Seo-hyun have completed a record $8 billion inheritance tax payment. This represents the largest such payment in history. Samsung has paid 12 trillion South Korean won in inheritance tax. The company's payment is among the highest in the world. Korean companies have previously resisted such payments, citing high inheritance tax rates. The payment was described as a reluctant one by sources. The specific amount of the tax bill was not disclosed in the report. The company had reportedly attempted to avoid the tax before proceeding with the payment. The company is currently managing the financial obligations following leadership transitions. Samsung's founding family heirs have paid an inheritance tax of approximately 11 trillion Korean won, which is equivalent to $8.1 billion USD.
