Income tax return
DKS helps you complete income tax liability while you work in Korea by paying your income tax from our budget and reimbursing you later.
According to Korean Tax Act, a foreign resident and non-resident who have resided in Korea longer than 6 months are subject to income tax on all personal earning while working in Korea. Evidence of income tax payment will be required when you need to avoid double taxation from your own country, and when working visa is renewed.
