South Korea’s opposition and government leaders are clashing over taxation on capital gains from cryptocurrency trading.

The People Power Party (PPP), the ruling party, says the planned taxation of capital gains on that profit should be delayed by two years, in line with the government‘s proposed amendment to the tax code announced in July 2024. The main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), however, insists taxation should begin in 2025 as planned.

The opposition’s push for crypto taxation has sparked a backlash among an estimated 7.7 million investors in Korea.

Under the Moon Jae-in administration, the Ministry of Economy and Finance unveiled a plan for crypto taxation in July 2020 that was set to go into effect in January 2022. However, the National Assembly decided to delay taxation to begin in January 2023 and the date was delayed again in December 2022 to January 2025.
