Korean lawmaker Han Dong-hoon calls for delaying crypto tax
- —Han Dong-hoon said the delay decision must be made without further deliberation
- —The current model does not cover cross-exchange transfers, staking and airdrops
- —Taxing only crypto after scrapping the investment income tax is unfair, he said
- —Forcing the tax would push taxpayers abroad and into cold wallets
Why it matters: A delay or repeal would ease pressure on Korean investors and trading volumes on local exchanges, though no decision has been made yet.
