Donation Receipt Issuance System: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how registered religious organizations in South Korea can issue tax deduction documents to their members through this official system.

This system allows registered religious organizations to officially issue donation receipts to their members for tax purposes.

Who it's for

This system is specifically for religious organizations that are officially registered.

What you get

By using this system, your organization can provide official tax deduction documents (known locally as 기부금영수증) to your congregants. This helps your members claim necessary tax benefits for the donations they provide to your organization.

What it costs you

While there is no direct fee mentioned, the process requires an ongoing administrative commitment. You are required to submit annual lists of all donations to the National Tax Service via the HomeTax portal.

The catch to know

Accuracy is critical. If your organization fails to report accurate donation lists, you may face heavy penalties. Ensuring your records match the actual donations received is essential to avoid these fines.

How to apply

  1. Ensure your religious organization is officially registered.
  2. Use the HomeTax portal to manage your records.
  3. Compile and submit your donation lists annually.
