Citing BlockTempo, South Korea's planned implementation of a virtual asset capital gains tax, originally set for January 1, 2027, is at risk of a fourth delay. The tax, first included in the Income Tax Act in 2020, has already been postponed three times due to unresolved regulatory gaps, incomplete reporting systems, and technical challenges in aligning with the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). Experts note that key issues such as cost basis calculation, taxation of DeFi and staking rewards, and enforcement mechanisms remain unaddressed, raising concerns about legal disputes and enforcement. The delay is expected to ease tax burdens for approximately 788,000 crypto investors but may also undermine regulatory credibility and international competitiveness.
