South Korea’s New Taxpayer Verification System: Impact on Customs Audits

  • South Korea is implementing a new Taxpayer Verification System in 2028.
  • The system allows importers with annual receipts under USD 30 million to opt for verification as good-faith customs taxpayers.
  • This replaces traditional audits with monthly confirmations of declarations.
  • The Korea Customs Service is already increasing audits on eligible importers.
  • Businesses should assign a manager, ensure accurate reporting, maintain records, and seek expert advice to prepare for the new system.
  • Foreign-invested subsidiaries and importers must act now to ensure compliance and mitigate risk.
