South Korea has postponed its crypto gains tax for the fourth time, pushing implementation back to 2029.

BeInCrypto reported that the tax was originally scheduled to take effect in January 2027, and this marks the fourth postponement. The same report noted that Hong Kong passed its own crypto tax reporting law on Wednesday, presenting it as a stark contrast.

· What is confirmed is that South Korea’s implementation date has shifted from January 2027 to 2029, marking the fourth postponement.
· Hong Kong’s passage of a tax reporting law is a contrasting fact cited in the same report. The two jurisdictions have different tax arrangements, so this does not mean they are the same thing.

Would you rather follow the conditions for South Korea’s latest postponement or the specific reporting requirements under Hong Kong’s law?
