Korean Culture Notes
In Korea, the 세금계산서 (se-geum-gye-san-seo) is a crucial document for businesses. It serves as official proof of a transaction for VAT (Value Added Tax) reporting and allows businesses to claim input tax credits. It’s different from a standard receipt or even a 현금영수증 (hyeon-geum-yeong-su-jeung), which is primarily for individuals’ income tax deductions on cash purchases.
To receive a 세금계산서, the requesting party (usually a business) must provide their 사업자등록번호 (sa-eop-ja-deung-rok-beon-ho), or Business Registration Number, along with other company details like the official company name, representative’s name, and address. Without the correct business registration number, a tax invoice cannot be issued.
Most tax invoices in Korea are issued electronically (전자세금계산서, jeon-ja-se-geum-gye-san-seo) through the National Tax Service’s online system called Hometax (홈택스). Businesses typically send these electronic invoices directly to the recipient’s registered email or allow them to check via the Hometax portal. Paper invoices are becoming less common but may still be used in some cases.
There are specific deadlines for issuing and requesting tax invoices, usually tied to the month of the transaction. For example, an invoice for a transaction in May generally needs to be issued by the 10th of June. It’s important to request the invoice promptly after the transaction to ensure compliance.
