The NTS mentioned that the tax regulator plans to heavily scrutinize those who fail to report overseas financial accounts. The authority has been compiling cross-border information exchange data, foreign exchange data and related agency notification data, the NTS noted, adding that it will enforce fines for those who violate the rules. The regulator stated:“In order to respond to the risk of potential tax base erosion through virtual assets, tax authorities around the world, including the National Tax Service, are preparing to exchange information in accordance with the Information Exchange Reporting Regulations.”


A major crypto-friendly country, South Korea has been closely focused on cryptocurrency tax rules in recent years, confiscating millions of dollars in crypto from tax evaders. In August 2023, The South Korean city of Cheongju reiterated its plans to start confiscating cryptocurrency from local tax delinquents.


Previously, the South Korean government reportedly postponed the 20% tax on crypto gains in July 2023. The tax was supposed to be effective from early 2023 but has been delayed to 2025.
