Rider Companies Face Tax Fraud and Evasion Widespread... Baemin Urges Emergency Inspection of Contract Vendors

Baemin has initiated an inspection of source tax collection status among contract vendors, following concerns that tax fraud and evasion in the delivery rider sector persist despite a 2023 tax investigation. The company is scrutinizing tax reporting practices of logistics partners, with industry analysts noting this marks a significant step toward exposing systemic tax evasion in the delivery market. Reports indicate some delivery service providers have allegedly diverted up to 10% of rider income through illegal means, while riders report discrepancies in income reporting and tax withholding.
