If I send a certified letter of content for outstanding receivables, can I receive the money right away?

A business partner keeps delaying payment, so I am thinking of sending a certified letter of content for outstanding receivables. People around me say that just sending a certified letter of content will result in immediate payment, but I am curious whether it actually has any effect. I would also like to know what procedure follows after the certified letter of content for outstanding receivables.

I would like specific guidance on the method for filing withholding tax, the procedures, the place of tax payment, and the submission deadlines.

Hello. I run a sole proprietorship, and I recently need to pay a freelancer who provided outside services. Because the freelancer is an individual without a business registration certificate, I was told that I must file the withholding tax on their behalf. However, I am confused about exactly when and in what manner I must file and pay the withholding tax, and whether I must also handle the local income tax. I would like specific guidance on the method for filing withholding tax, the procedures, the place of tax payment, and the submission deadlines.

I heard that the inheritance tax rate is up to 50%. If there is a lot of property, do you have to pay 50% on all of it?

I recently read an article on Naver. Seeing the article talk about the top tax rate, I am worried that the burden would be too great. I heard that the inheritance tax rate differs by bracket, but exactly how is it divided? I am curious whether, once a certain amount is exceeded, the higher rate applies to the entire amount from that moment on.

A clan member is occupying part of the clan land. Can we get it back?

A particular clan member has been using, alone and for a long time, clan land that has been handed down from our ancestors. The other clan members have never used it or shared in its profits, and only recently have they sought to raise the issue. The registered title is held in the name of the clan, but in practice an individual is occupying it. In such a case, I would like to know whether we can get the clan land back and what legal procedures we must go through.

How should I respond to a tax investigation? Would it be good to get a tax consultation?

I recently received a sudden notice of a tax investigation, and since it is my first tax investigation, I am quite flustered. I am not sure what I should check on the first day of the investigation, or how much of the material the investigating officials request I must submit. I have also heard that in some cases they come to investigate directly without prior notice, and since I received notice in the normal way, I am curious about that difference as well. Because I am increasingly worried by talk that the scope of the investigation could expand further, I am considering whether I should get a tax consultation in advance and prepare a response strategy. How would it be best to respond? Would it be good to get a tax consultation?

How do the punishment and compensation for uninsured motorist injury work?

Hello. A family member was in a traffic accident, and the at-fault vehicle was reportedly not insured. I would like to know whether this is handled as uninsured motorist injury in such a case.

I would like to proceed with a dermatology clinic lawsuit. Would that be possible?

Hello. I received a scar treatment procedure at a dermatology clinic, and afterward hyperpigmentation developed. Before the procedure, the clinic explained only that there might be redness and swelling for about three days and said that it would improve over time. However, it has now been more than two weeks and the hyperpigmentation is continuing, so I am very worried. I would like to know whether I can proceed with a dermatology clinic lawsuit in such a case.

Please tell me how to conduct an investigation of a debtor's assets.

Hello. Some time ago, I lent money to an acquaintance, but even though the promised repayment deadline has long passed, I have not received back a single won. Even though I have contacted him several times, he keeps putting it off, and these days he talks as if he has no assets and seems to have no intention of repaying. Even if I proceed with a lawsuit, I first want to confirm whether there is actually money I can recover; how do I conduct an investigation of a debtor's assets?
