The Korean National Tax Service will introduce a business tracking program: filling the tax loophole for virtual assets in personal wallets

According to Digitalasset, the South Korean National Tax Service plans to introduce commercial tracking programs used by domestic and foreign investigative agencies to track and analyze the flow of funds between digital asset wallets, in order to close the tax loophole for virtual assets in personal wallets.

The South Korean government stated that digital assets held in personal wallets and overseas exchanges are subject to taxation as long as there is income generated from transfers or loans. The overseas exchanges will respond through the Crypto Asset Automatic Information Exchange Framework (CARF).
