South Korea Launches Comprehensive Review of 2026 Tax Reform Package After Presidential Directive

According to Yonhapnews on August 10, South Korea's government initiated a comprehensive review of its 2026 tax reform proposals following President Lee Jae-myung's directive on August 7 over significant investor and youth backlash.

The review addresses revisions to Individual Savings Accounts (ISA)—which removed carryover limits and capped contract duration at 5 years—and the stock price manipulation prevention law, which imposes a minimum 30% stock value upward adjustment for tax purposes when low price-to-book valuations are detected. Expected completion by end of August.
