Quick distinction for Korean crypto users: a proposal to delay the tax is not a legal delay yet.
On Nov. 4, the ruling Democratic Party’s supreme council formally proposed postponing the tax on crypto gains scheduled for Jan. 1, 2027. It says the Digital Asset Basic Act and more preparation time should come first. If adopted, this would be the fourth postponement; CoinDesk reports lawmakers have discussed roughly two years. Under current law, annual gains above ₩2.5 million face a combined 22% tax, so Jan. 1 remains the scheduled start unless legislators change the law.
Will the proposal become legislation?
