former Regional Director Go Shimazaki, Chief Inspector Nobuhiro Kawaguchi, and Mr. Keisuke Ota in the Investigation Division 3 of the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau, Global Union has stepped up to take comprehensive legal and social action, stating that the treatment of foreign business owners deviates from laws and judicial precedents, potentially resulting in discriminatory evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Global Union has determined that a series of responses involving former Supervising Officer Tsuyoshi Shimazaki and Chief Investigator Nobuhiro Kawaguchi in the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau's Inspection Division 3 lacked significant rationality in their treatment of foreign business owners in light of laws and judicial precedents, potentially resulting in discriminatory effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The abnormality of denying foreign ownership<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, regarding the fact that foreign executives who concurrently hold positions in overseas corporations are the beneficial owners of those corporations,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>overseas laws and regulations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Japanese judicial precedent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>practical ownership structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">even though it can be reasonably explained in light of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is alleged that in the Investigation Department 3 of the Kumamoto Regional Taxation Bureau, former Supervising Director Tsuyoshi Shimazaki and Chief Inspector Nobuhiro Kawaguchi conclusively indicated the conclusion that the foreign national in question would not be recognized as the owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, regarding the files supporting said ownership,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">considered lost or missing<br>They have not even complied with the return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">such situations coexist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u25a0 The legal nature of the problem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This structure is not merely an error in fact-finding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mishandling of evidence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arbitrariness of ownership determination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evaluation bias based on being a foreigner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">indicates the possibility of existing simultaneously,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>discriminatory outcome where ownership is denied simply because one is a foreigner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">is extremely critical in that it is causing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u25a0 What actually happened (social impact)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to this action,

foreigners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">is being implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The question of whether inspections actually exist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, in this case,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">while it is said that there is a practice where tax authorities usually coordinate with customs to notify them upon the entry of a person subject to investigation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No measures have been confirmed regarding the entry into the country of the foreign business managers and others, up until the most recent period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the fact is pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding this point, global unions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doesn't the very substance of the inspection and investigation itself fail to exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">pointing out that serious doubts have arisen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reconstruction as a Labor Issue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impact of this matter is not limited to individual foreign business owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to this

owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">is concluding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does this mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is a

Bureau,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Face-to-face investigations will be conducted for the owners of the seized items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">is the point that it

matter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not an individual tax issue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It is the very object of the exercise of the right to organize and the right to act collectively.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This case is a compound problem of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Article 14 of the
