Ye Yuan-zhi (葉元之), the spokesman for Han’s campaign headquarters, yesterday denied that the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) presidential candidate’s wife had evaded taxes. Lee’s accountant had calculated the taxes differently from the National Taxation Bureau, Ye said. If what Lee did should be described as evading taxes, then President Tsai Ing-wen’s (蔡英文) brother would be worse, he said. “That is what you should call deliberately evading taxes,” he said. Han’s campaign office on Nov. 16 released a list of six homes that the couple purchased after reports that they bought multiple homes.
