Operating a multi-national or off-shore corporation requires extensive knowledge of local laws and regulations. This is particularly important when dealing with financial matters, such as tax and foreign exchange regulatory matters.
Having a complete understanding of taxation laws will not only ensure that you are operating within regulatory requirements but also allows for smart planning, facilitating increased opportunities for growth and development.
Tax can be confusing at the best of times, not least of all when you are operating in an overseas territory. Fortunately, Calibre Business Advisory is here to assist. If you are looking to expand your operations into Seoul, our tax advisors and accountants in Korea possess both technical knowledge and excellent communication skills to assist across a wide range of tax related areas.
Calibre Advisory Seoul’s tax and accounting services are wide-ranging and include:
Inbound/outbound tax planning and structuring
Like all local business entities in Korea, foreign invested enterprises are required to comply with Korean tax laws and regulations and pay income tax, local income tax withholding tax and VAT. Also, a foreign investor should bear in mind that withholding taxes are imposed on dividend distributions, interests and royalties to non-resident entities abroad.

Navigating these requirements can be difficult and requires in-depth knowledge of taxation laws across multiple countries.

Likewise, Korea companies should analyse their tax implications and positions when making investments abroad. In this regard, our tax advisors in Sydney can advise you on tax implications on your investments and businesses in Australia.
