- Implementation and Compliance Requirements: All VAT-registered businesses, including sole proprietors with revenue exceeding KRW 80 million, must comply with technical requirements such as digital signatures and XML formatting, while facing penalties for non-compliance. The system enhances tax compliance, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
