The properties covered were larger than 85 sq m and had an officially assessed value of more than 900 million won ($651,000), making them subject to the comprehensive real estate holding tax.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The 50 companies under audit are suspected of tax irregularities involving a combined 1.9 trillion won, as reported by local news agency Yonhap. <!-- -->The NTS said some firms provided homes to owners\u2019 families, helped them avoid multiple-home ownership and lending restrictions, or maintained luxury vacation properties exclusively for private use.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>In one case, a company bought a luxury home in central Seoul for more than 20 billion won and spent another 10 billion won in corporate funds on expansion and interior work. Another company bought a roughly 4 billion-won home in a wealthy southern Seoul district and allowed its owner to use it privately without registering the property as his residence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Meanwhile, in Busan, a company purchased a Seoul apartment worth around 4 billion won for its owner\u2019s family and provided it rent-free.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>The tax agency said the investigation will also expand overseas, targeting corporate-owned homes provided free of charge to owners\u2019 children studying abroad, as well as company-funded tuition and living expenses.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
