Is Gainax being investigated by the Japanese Taxation Office? Is it because of tax fraud?

0

Yes. In July 1998 investigators from the Japanese Taxation office raided Gainax’s offices and the residence of Gainax’s president Yamaga. In November 1998 Japanese newspapers reported that Gainax performed tax fraud by transferring funds to other companies, labelling it as different kinds of fees, and then secretly re-depositing it. Gainax appears to have been fined heavily. Newspaper reports specifically listed Gainax as the author of Neon Genesis Evangelion, the cult TV series.
