I need to sort out my taxes (year-end settlement and refunds)

연말정산·종합소득세 신고

Every foreign worker paid a salary in Korea, people with business income or other income, and anyone who paid too much tax and wants it back

Sometimes an agent can do this for you. Ask us and we will check.
Foreign workers can pick whichever is better for them between the ordinary progressive rates and the flat rate, so it is worth doing the maths. Tax representation overlaps with the field of licensed tax accountants, so how far an administrative scrivener may go needs checking. Miss the May global income tax deadline and penalty tax is added.
Government fee
Free
Scrivener's service fee
We'll tell you when we contact you
How long it takes
Usually 1 month from filing until you get the refund
Where you file it
The district tax office (세무서) of the National Tax Service (국세청), or Hometax online (홈택스)
Papers you usually need
  • Withholding tax receipt for earned income (근로소득 원천징수영수증)
  • Passport and Alien Registration Card (외국인등록증)
  • Receipts for deductions (medical costs, education costs, donations, monthly rent, etc.)
  • Copy of your bankbook
  • Family relation documents from your home country (for the dependent deduction)

Leave a question

Just leave one way to reach you. We check it, pass it to an administrative agent, and the agent contacts you directly.

We only take your request and pass it to an administrative agent. You pay us nothing.

The more you write, the faster the agent can answer you.

It does not have to be a Korean number. Choose the country in the box before this one, and write only the number here.

We do not check what you write, and we do not report it to anyone. We do not tell employers either.

The year and month you are allowed to stay until. Look for the period of stay on your ARC (foreigner ID card), not the card's issue date. It is fine if you are not sure.

The contract has to be signed face to face, so we ask where you live only to connect you with an agent near you.

More options Optional

What you write and your contact go only to the administrative agent handling this. We do not tell your employer. The agent tells you the cost directly.
