Excuse me, I am a bit confused about tax regulations in South Korea. I understand that different countries have different tax systems, and I was wondering if South Korea taxes its citizens' worldwide income. For example, if I earn income from investments or business activities outside of South Korea, am I required to pay taxes on those earnings in South Korea as well? Or are only the earnings generated within South Korea taxable? I appreciate your help in clarifying this matter.

Income tax liability in Korea is determined based on residency status. Taxpayers are categorized as residents or non-residents for income tax purposes.

Residents of Korea are taxed on all incomes, regardless of whether they are derived from sources within or outside the country. This means that any income, whether domestic or foreign, is taxable for residents.

For non-residents, the taxation rules differ. They are generally taxed only on income earned from sources within Korea, while income from foreign sources is not taxed.
