A surefire way to steer clear of tax investigation

I suppose the most frightening thing for any business owner is the fear of a tax investigation.

A tax investigation is the tax office's examination of a taxpayer, usually a business owner or company, and their tax return. The tax office reviews the tax returns from the previous year to ensure they comply with the law and that the accounting is accurate.

During an investigation, if discrepancies are found, the tax office can impose additional taxes and penalties. Usually, tax investigations target the previous 2 to 5 years, and the penalty taxes can be substantial. In some cases, companies that struggle to handle their taxes may face bankruptcy.

Last month, there was an interesting announcement from the NTS (National Tax Service in Korea). The NTS stated that SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Entities) submitting a plan to increase their employees by at least 2-3% in 2024, compared to 2023, and implementing the plan, will be exempt from tax investigation for the year 2022.

The policy only applicable to Small & medium size companies with a previous year's revenue underf 150,000,000,000 KRW and total assets amounts under 200,000,000,000 KRW.

The process is quite simple. visit the Hometax (www.hometax.go.kr) website and follow the picture guide below.

NTS announce such policies from time to time. G-tax provide this kind of information to foreigner & foreign corporation to assist them in their business endeavors!
