Tax Credit for Small Business Owners: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how small business owners and clinics can reduce their tax burden through this specific tax credit scheme in South Korea.

This scheme allows certain small businesses and medical clinics to reduce the amount of tax they owe to the government.

Who it's for

This credit is designed for clinics that meet specific small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) size criteria.

What you get

If you qualify, you receive a reduction in your corporate or income tax. This is a tax credit, which directly lowers the total tax amount you are required to pay.

What it costs you

There is no direct fee to access this benefit, but it is not automatic. You must proactively claim the credit while you are filing your annual tax returns.

The catch to know

Your eligibility is not fixed; it can change depending on where your clinic is located and how much revenue your business generates.

How to apply

  • Confirm that your clinic meets the SME size requirements.
  • Verify your eligibility based on your specific location and annual revenue.
  • Apply for the credit during your regular annual tax filing process.
  • Check the official National Tax Service portal for specific filing instructions.
