South Korea’s presidential office is discussing a fourth postponement of the country’s 22% crypto gains tax, potentially moving the start of the South Korea crypto tax from January 1, 2027 to 2029. The review centers on officials’ concern that missing US trading records would leave users of domestic exchanges bearing an uneven burden.
The discussions were described in October 26, 2026 coverage citing South Korean outlet Newsis. The National Tax Service still lists January 1, 2027 as the effective date; changing it requires parliament to amend the law.
