Tax evasion scandal
[edit]In March 2019, it was reported that a search was performed on Ufotable's offices due to allegedtax evasion.[40] The next month, it was reported that Ufotable owed¥400 millionin taxes. In June 2020, both the studio and company founder and president Hikaru Kondo were charged with violating the Corporation Tax Act and Consumption Tax Act by failing to pay¥139 million(about US$1.28 million) in taxes.[41][42] The studio published a public statement apologizing for their actions.[43] In July 2021, Kondo was formally indicted with evading¥137 million(about US$1.24 million) in taxes by the special investigation department of the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office. Ufotable acknowledged the indictment and gave assurance that the company had already filed a corrected tax return and paid the appropriate amount.[44] In September 2021, Kondo admitted to evading¥138 millionin taxes at a preliminary hearing by theTokyo District Court. The company allegedly hid about¥441 million(about US$4 million) in income.[45] In response to questioning by the prosecution, Kondo said, "The only profits coming from the studio come from the cafe business and merchandise sales, and if those were to disappear, we wouldn't be able to pay the staff's salaries or production costs, so I wanted to secure some cash just in case something happened."[46][a] In November 2021, it was reported prosecutors were seeking a 20-month prison sentence for Kondo. The court delivered a verdict on December 10, 2021.[50] Kondo was sentenced to 20 months in prison, but the sentence wassuspendedfor three years.[51]
Notes
[edit]- ^Although the Japanese animation industry was in the midst of an animation bubble at the time, the fees offered to studios by clients such asTV stations,movie studios,andpublishershad risen somewhat, but remained low. Therefore, every production would always end up in the red, and Ufotable also had to make up for this with profits from its side business. Many studios without intellectual property rights could make money from merchandise if they had a hit, but if they did not, they could not pay their staff or went bankrupt.[47][48]As forNetflix,which was seen as the savior of Japanese anime, if Netflix fully invested in the studios, they could receive double or triple the fees, but in return, the studios had to hand over the intellectual property rights to Netflix and could no longer sell merchandise or video software for their works.[49]
