South Korea Opposition Seeks to Scrap 2027 Crypto Tax in Full

South Korea's main opposition party has submitted legislation to fully repeal the country's planned 22% capital gains tax on cryptocurrency, which is scheduled to take effect in 2027. The party said the proposal is needed to address what it calls an unfair imbalance, noting that stock investment gains are currently not subject to income tax. The push reopens a long-running political dispute over crypto taxation in one of the world's most active retail digital-asset markets.
