About 2025 연말정산 가이드
Are you unsure where to start with your year-end tax settlement?
"What should I click on in the simplified service?"
"What's the difference between income deductions and tax credits?"
"What deductions can I claim?"
Every January, office workers' minds become frantic. Their companies ask them to submit their year-end tax settlement documents, but when they access Hometax, they're overwhelmed by unfamiliar terms. If they simply submit the simplified documents and call it a day, they worry about missing out on a refund.
The "2025 Year-End Tax Settlement Guide" was created for these people. From those new to the workforce who've never filed their year-end tax settlement before to those who still find it confusing every year, this is a truly beginner-friendly guide that anyone can easily understand and follow.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Why do you need this app? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Year-end tax settlement is the process of comparing taxes paid in advance throughout the year with the taxes you actually owe. If you're aware of deductions, you can receive refunds ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of won. Conversely, if you're unaware, you could be donating money you could have received to the government.
The problem is that tax-related information is overwhelming. The National Tax Service website is full of technical terms, and even if you search online, you're not sure if the information is relevant to your situation. In particular, for the 2025 tax year (January 2026 filing), there are many tax law revisions, so you need to understand the differences from last year.
This app breaks down complex tax information into simple, easy-to-understand language. It doesn't just list information; it guides you step-by-step through "what you need to do now." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
2025 Year-End Tax Settlement: Changes
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This year, benefits related to marriage, childbirth, and childcare have been significantly expanded. Be sure to understand the new changes and take advantage of them to avoid losses.
First, a new marriage tax credit has been created. If you registered your marriage between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026, you can deduct 500,000 won per person, or up to 1 million won for a combined couple. This credit is available regardless of age, whether you're married for the first time or remarried. However, it only applies once per lifetime.
Second, the child tax credit has increased. The deduction for the first child has increased by 100,000 won each: from 150,000 won to 250,000 won for the first child, from 200,000 won to 300,000 won for the second child, and from 300,000 won to 400,000 won for the third and subsequent children. Starting in 2024, grandchildren will also be eligible for the deduction.
Third, the monthly rent tax deduction limit has been significantly increased. The deductible monthly rent has increased from 7.5 million won to 10 million won per year, and the income threshold has been relaxed from 70 million won to 80 million won. If you're renting, be sure to check this out.
Fourth, the housing subscription savings deduction limit has increased from 2.4 million won to 3 million won per year. Now, not only the head of household but also the spouse can claim the deduction.
Fifth, starting July 1, 2025, swimming pool and gym fees will be eligible for a 30% income deduction. This applies to those with a total annual salary of 70 million won or less.
There are also various changes, such as the expansion of the additional deduction for single parents (from 1 million won to 1.5 million won), the full tax exemption of corporate childbirth support funds, and the removal of income restrictions on postpartum care center expenses.
