A new tax on virtual assets is slated to take effect next year, and confusion between investors and companies has persisted accordingly. In particular, due to the possibility of applying a 22% high rate, market participants are currently seeking financial strategies, while the urgency of establishing clear tax standards is emphasized. The government collaborates with related ministries to establish a tax regime for virtual assets, prioritizing investor protection.
When this measure takes effect, the possibility of applying a 22% tax rate to virtual asset income appears to be a different direction from existing tax structures. This represents a new challenge for both financial authorities and the corporate sector, and investors are scrutinizing strategies to secure predictability in taxation. Moreover, once the tax on virtual assets is fixed, the market is expected to operate under a more transparent tax environment.
