What’s new? The South Korean Finance Minister Hong Nam-ki has stated that cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin will be taxed as “intangible assets” from next year. This is reported by the local media.
“It's inevitable, we will need to impose a tax on profits from the trading of virtual assets.”
Why was the bill postponed? The South Korean authorities have previously discussed the possibility of introducing a tax on cryptocurrency. The government had offered to tax annual cryptocurrency profits of 2,5 million won ($2200).
The project was criticized by the crypto lobbyists, and the South Korean government officially postponed the introduction of a new cryptocurrency tax until 2022.
