South Korea Introduces Tax Reform By Tracking Crypto Profits Ahead of 2027
South Korea's National Tax Service (NTS) is developing a digital tracking system to monitor cryptocurrency transactions and enforce tax compliance starting in 2027. The initiative, budgeted at 3 billion won ($2.02 million), will leverage AI and machine learning to analyze trading data across exchanges.
The system aims to close loopholes in crypto taxation by identifying taxable gains at the individual level. Public bidding for the project has commenced through the government's procurement platform, signaling accelerated regulatory scrutiny of virtual asset markets.
