Still Unsure? The Essential Tax Guide for Expats in Korea
If you are still wondering whether you need to file or if our service is right for you, here is everything you need to know about the Korean tax system for this May.
If you are a freelancer or contractor receiving income after a 3.3% withholding tax, a creator with global income such as YouTube, or a foreign sole proprietor doing business in Korea, you must file.
Missing the May 31 deadline leads to heavy penalties. More crucially, it can disqualify you from obtaining a Certificate of Income, a mandatory document required by the Immigration Office for visa extensions or status changes.
Yes. If you have additional income from freelance work, business, rental, or dividends on top of your regular salary, you must combine and report them.
Yes. Income received after a 3.3% deduction is classified as business income. If the pre-paid tax is more than what you actually owe, you can get the difference back as a refund by filing your taxes. We help maximize this.
Yes. The key to maximizing your return is accurately claiming expenses directly used to generate your income.
- IT Freelancers & Creators: Hardware purchases, global software subscriptions, cloud services, and home office expenses.
- Models & Entertainers: Agency fees, profile shoots, hair and makeup styling, and business transportation.
- Small Business: Turnkey bookkeeping for complex Hometax tasks so you can focus on growth.
Yes. You can receive a personal deduction of 1.5 million KRW per qualifying dependent. For family living abroad, you must objectively prove that you are actually supporting them with documents such as regular overseas remittance records and translated family certificates.
If you are a tax resident under Korean law, global income must be reported. However, foreigners who have lived in Korea for 5 years or less out of the past 10 years only report overseas income remitted to Korea. We also apply the Foreign Tax Credit for taxes already paid in your home country to prevent double taxation.
You can log in using your ARC and a digital certificate. However, Hometax uses difficult Korean terminology, and the English version has very limited functions. TaxReturnKorea.com handles this complex authentication process and accurately checks your 2025 income and pre-paid taxes for you.
Simple filing may be possible for incomes under 24 million KRW, but the government's automatic calculation often misses hidden expenses. For higher incomes, especially over 75 million KRW, professional help is essential for mandatory double-entry bookkeeping and avoiding a 20% penalty tax.
Taxes on income from the transfer or lending of virtual assets are currently suspended under the Korean government's policy. You do not need to include this in your current comprehensive income tax return.
