Korea's deputy PM nominee: crypto tax from 2027, but burden will be small

  • Korea's crypto tax is scheduled for 2027 after a delay approved in 2024
  • 85% of investors hold assets worth less than 5 million won
  • The annual deduction is 2.5 million won, and part of profits may be recognized as expenses
  • Tax details will continue to be discussed in a parliamentary subcommittee
Why it matters: It confirms the timing of the tax in one of the largest crypto jurisdictions but signals a light burden for retail.
