[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] The National Tax Service has launched a special (non-regular) tax investigation into Daewoo Engineering & Construction, a large construction company.

According to industry sources on the 28th, the National Tax Service sent about 100 investigators to the Daewoo E&C building in Jung-gu, Seoul earlier in the day to obtain various accounting and tax-related data.

The investigation is known to have involved the Seoul Regional Tax Office's investigation bureau 4, drawing keen attention to the background. This is because it is often different from the nature of special tax audits conducted due to illegal issues.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government's investigation bureau 4 is in charge of irregular tax audits, not regular tax audits.

This is the first tax investigation since 2021 when Daewoo Engineering & Construction was sold to Jungheung Construction.

However, an official from Daewoo Engineering & Construction said, "We received a regular investigation in 2018 and we understand that the regular investigation came out again five years later."
