Simplified vs General VAT Compare

Compare Korean simplified vs general VAT from annual supply and purchase invoices: industry add-value rates, the ₩48M exemption, and input-tax credit.

Annual supply and purchase invoices

Not HomeTax. Compare simplified VAT (exemption / 0.5% credit) with general VAT (10% minus input tax) from two numbers.

How to Use

How it works

Not a HomeTax form. Enter annual VAT-inclusive supply, purchase-invoice supply, and industry. We apply 2026 rules:

  1. Simplified eligibility under ₩104,000,000.
  2. Payment exemption under ₩48,000,000 (you still file).
  3. Simplified tax = supply × add-value rate × 10% − purchase × 0.5% (no refund if credit exceeds tax).
  4. General tax = supply ÷ 1.1 × 10% − input VAT. Negative ≈ a refund direction.

Copy the comparison before you talk to an accountant. Card credits and mixed businesses are not modeled.
