Korea’s tax system is categorized, depending on the authority of taxation, into national taxes and local taxes. National taxes are further divided into internal taxes, including corporate tax and income tax, and tariffs imposed on imported goods.

Foreign companies must also consider the handling of transfer pricing taxation regarding international transactions with specially related persons such as foreign investors, and the insufficient capital tax system regarding loans.
