South Korea lawmaker moves to delay crypto tax by three years to 2030

  • Crypto income tax delayed from 2027 to 2030
  • Rate stays at 20%, or 22% with local tax, with a 2.5 million won deduction
  • Valuation base date shifts from end-2026 to end-2029
  • Exchanges would have to give clients transaction data by end-February
Why it matters: The delay eases pressure on Korean investors and exchanges, but leaves the market without tax clarity for several more years.
