#Gate广场五月交易分享 #韩国加密征税倒计时 South Korea's National Tax Service deploys AI system, 22% capital gains tax countdown begins

South Korea's National Tax Service is developing a "Virtual Asset Comprehensive Analysis System" costing 3 billion Korean won, scheduled for trial operation in November 2026, paving the way for the implementation of a 22% capital gains tax in January 2027. The system can monitor approximately 8 billion transactions annually, and through blockchain analysis, it can link anonymous addresses to real identities, identifying tax evasion patterns and market manipulation behaviors.
Meanwhile, South Korea has joined the OECD crypto asset reporting framework, and starting from January 2026, exchanges in 48 countries including the US, UK, Japan, and Germany will automatically report transaction data of their residents to South Korea, with no amount threshold.
Regulators also plan to set a 20% ownership limit for major shareholders of domestic exchanges, with major exchanges like Kor and Bith facing large-scale equity restructuring. These measures mark South Korea's comprehensive adoption of traditional financial regulatory frameworks into the crypto asset sector, leading the world in both pace and scope.
