Business registration is only the start

If you run a business in Korea, there is something to take care of every month. Sound familiar?

01Missing a filing deadline

Filing VAT or income tax late means penalty tax is added.

02Notices only in Korean

Tax office notices and tax terms are hard to follow, even for Koreans.

03Once you hire staff

Payroll filings, withholding tax and the four social insurances come every month.

What we do for you
