Reika Miyazaki, an influencer accused of tax evasion, was targeted by Marusa.

He owns luxury cars such as Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, and Mercedes Benzes.

How did he get caught?

On December 25, the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office indicted Reika Miyazaki, 37, an entrepreneur and influencer, for concealing income of approximately 496 million yen and evading a total of 157 million yen in taxes, including corporate taxes, from her advertising agency Solarie (Shibuya Ward, Tokyo).

Reika Miyazaki–real name is Reika Miyazaki–married for the third time to Keiji Kuroki, a former member of EXILE, after two divorces. She currently lives with her four children. Her father is former member of the House of Councillors, Shin Isao Shira.

According to the indictment, Miyazaki concealed income of 496 million yen and evaded corporate tax of 126 million yen for the two years from January 2009 to January 2012 by posting fictitious business consignment expenses. From February 2010 to January 2012, he also evaded consumption tax of approximately 31 million yen.

He used the ill-gotten money to purchase brand-name goods and introduced them on his SNS. A person who knows Miyazaki reveals, “A number of his followers on Instagram follow him on Twitter and Facebook.

In October, he revealed his closet lined with Hermes Birkin, and in February, he revealed that he owned luxury cars such as Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, and Mercedes Benzes. You also frequently traveled abroad, including to Hawaii, with your family. She is happy with her husband Keiji, and on December 15, she showed a wedding photo from four years ago with the message in English, ‘Thank you for always being there for me.

The National Tax Administration Bureau’s Inspection Department, commonly known as “MARUSA,” took notice of Miyazaki, who was enjoying a celebrity lifestyle.

MARUSA, which came into the limelight with the 1987 film “The MARUSA Woman” (directed by Juzo Itami), is a professional tax investigator. Many business owners in the business world are fearful that if they are caught red-handed, it will be the last time they will be investigated. A reporter in charge of economics for a national newspaper revealed the following.

The reporter in charge of economics for a national newspaper revealed, “It is possible that MARUSA was uncomfortable with the scale of the business of Solarie, which Miyazaki runs, and the lavish lifestyle he was posting on social networking sites. Recently, we have seen an increasing number of cases of this type of pattern. Just as police officers can instantly spot drug addicts and other suspicious characters, MARUSA can sniff out suspicious companies and people. In a way, perhaps defendant Miyazaki was too conspicuous.”

Perhaps sensing MARUSA’s move, Miyazaki has been quietly deleting his past celebrity posts, such as his luxury car collection, in recent months. Needless to say, however, it was “already too late.

In response to this incident, Miyazaki posted on his Instagram Stories

I am currently being pointed out by the relevant authorities regarding my past tax returns. I take the underreporting of this matter very seriously and deeply regret it.

The company apologizes.

Heavy statutory penalty of up to 10 years in jail or a fine.

Although the word “underreporting” diminishes the impact of the case, the authorities have recognized the case as “tax evasion” in which the defendant maliciously evaded taxes, rather than underreporting. If found guilty, what will happen to Miyazaki, including his sentence?

This website spoke with Ayao Masaki, representative attorney at “Your Ace Lawyers, Inc.

If found guilty, Miyazaki will face heavy penalties of up to 10 years in prison or a fine (with concurrent convictions) under Article 159 of the Corporation Tax Law and Article 64 of the Consumption Tax Law, which mainly deal with the crime of “fraudulently evading taxes. The amount of punishment is based on the amount of tax evasion, the planning of tax evasion, the number of years, the initiative, the payment status, and the effectiveness in preventing recurrence. From Miyazaki’s comments, it appears that he is willing to admit guilt and pay the tax.

It is believed that the Prosecutor’s Office is prosecuting him at home in consideration of the extenuating circumstances. Although we cannot make a definite decision, we believe that he will be given a custodial sentence with a suspended sentence. Therefore, it cannot be said that “over 100 million yen is always a prison sentence. If you take the required measures, such as full payment of taxes and prevention of recurrence, under the guidance of your lawyer, you will be able to receive a suspended sentence. The possibility that this case will result in a prison sentence is not zero, but it is low.

Nevertheless, Miyazaki, who is raising four children, must be very concerned.

A similar pattern can be seen in the “tax evasion case” of Yuta Misaki, the “Prince of Aojiru” (green juice).

In 2007, Mr. Misaki was convicted of violating the Corporate Tax Law (tax evasion) by posting fictitious advertising expenses and avoiding paying corporate taxes of approximately 180 million yen over a two-year period, for which he was sentenced to two years in prison with a four-year suspended sentence. He served the suspended term in September 2011.

Of course, if he is convicted, he will have to pay the financial bill.

The payment is usually in addition to the main tax that was avoided, plus additional taxes, such as heavy additional taxes, and delinquent taxes on top of that. If false receipts and fictitious accounting are evaluated as ‘cover-up and disguise,’ the heavy additional tax can be as high as 35% in principle (40% depending on the type of tax and the amount of repetition), so if the main tax is approximately 157 million yen, the additional tax alone can reach an estimated amount of over 50 million yen in some cases. Delinquent taxes increase on a daily basis from the day after the due date, and vary greatly depending on whether or not the payment is made in the middle of the payment period and the length of time until finalization,” said Ayao Masaki, representative attorney at Lawyer Corporation “Your Ace.

(Lawyer Ayao Masaki, representative attorney of “Your Ace,” mentioned above) “There is a possibility that more than 200 million yen will be paid in total for the main tax.

The lavishness of his income has even caused some people around him to ask, “Is he really making that much money?

How can he make so much money?

Miyazaki is said to have been wondering “How can he make so much money? As the trial progresses, the reality of his celebrity lifestyle is sure to come to light.

Although it may seem unreasonable, paying taxes is a duty of every citizen. Do not think of it as a fire on the other side of the river.
