VAT was introduced in South Korea in 1977, allowing the country’s government to consolidate eight previous indirect taxes into one simpler levy.
It is applied at a standard rate of 10% on the supply of goods and services across the nation, with the exception of those that are zero-rated or exempt.
Every business that supplies goods or services (even those that are not for profit) to South Korean organisations or consumers must register for VAT in the country.
