Hàn Quốc sẽ triển khai hệ thống theo dõi thuế tài sản ảo vào năm 2027

The Korea Times reported that the National Tax Service (NTS) of South Korea has announced the commencement of preparatory work for building a virtual asset transaction tracking system to align with the government’s expansionary fiscal policy and increased revenue needs. The system aims to implement systematic tax administration on cryptocurrency investment gains, with an estimated project cost of approximately 3 billion Korean won (about $2.02 million). The tender has been publicly posted on Korea’s Public Procurement Service e-bidding platform, and the winning bidder will finalize the contract within this month. According to the plan, system design will begin in April, enter a trial operation phase in November, and officially launch between November and December. The NTS stated that the system is expected to begin collecting individual virtual asset transaction data starting in 2027. Under South Korea’s current plan, starting January next year, virtual asset gains exceeding 2.5 million Korean won will be subject to a 22% comprehensive tax rate (including 20% income tax and 2% local income tax).
