An order to integrate a tax law has just been requested by the South Korean government which would require a variety of assets to pay taxes as of 2021. Made earlier this week on the 22nd of July, the announcement was made by the country's ministry of strategy and finance with a 2020 tax law amendment name tag as well. 

Going off of the law, the assets that will have an impact of this new order are classified as casual assets and are subject to paying taxes on transfer gains. This would include things like real estate, stock and of course, Cryptocurrency.

An extra 20% annual taxation is soon going to be required on all other types of income with the internal revenue service now overseeing everything with foreign exchange investors.

As this new policy gets integrated into the government, a domestic exchange will create a system where transaction details will be submitted to the national tax service on a quarterly basis. As a result of this, this will help the tension in terms of proving the actual acquisition price of a cryptocurrency but there are still problems on this matter. Even though the acquisition price is a very big factor, calculating the number of digital currency is required before the implementation of the law could create unfavourable conditions for the tax individuals.

South Korea seems to be juggling cryptocurrencies. The legislation of crypto earlier this year in March is a big indicator that the country is embracing the world of digital assets rather than pushing it away.

It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out. For more news on this and other crypto updates, keep it with CryptoDaily!
