Kim Min-seok says ruling party to reach conclusion this year on digital asset tax

South Korea\'s ruling party will reach a final conclusion within the year on digital asset taxation ahead of its planned implementation in January. Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok raised the need for a concentrated final review, and said he also proposed the idea to Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lee Hyung-il. Under the current system, taxation is set to begin on Jan. 1, 2027, after three postponements. Industry groups cite unclear standards for various transaction types and gaps in reporting infrastructure.
