South Korea Toughens Up Rules On Overseas Accounts

“In a bid to reduce the incidence of tax evasion, the National Tax Service (NTS) is to impose heavier fines on those South Korean residents who are found to hold substantial unexplained financial accounts in overseas jurisdictions. Beginning next year, South Koreans with overseas financial accounts worth more than KRW1bn (USD896,000) will be obligated to report the assets, and to explain the sources of the funds. Failure to do so will result in a 10 percent fine, which will be even greater if the source is found to be the result of tax evasion. The NTS’s plans are included within the Government’s new proposals to raise additional tax revenue for its welfare programs by improving tax compliance.”
