So, I just got my tax refund for last year...it was about 600k. This was a bit lower than last year but it is essentially free money so I won't complain!

Now all of you should be heading to your nearest tax office and filling out the forms (the company I work for does mine for me, I just provide the paperwork)...You probably won't get this much back (I have two kids to deduct for example) but like I said...free money is good!

Phone or visit the tax office and they will tell you what you need and where/ how you can get it.

Good Luck!!

I always hated that description. It's your money to begin with. You earned it and as usual ... well it was yours from the beginning and now you get it back ...

Don't know when I get mine back, but I think the tax system in Korea sucks.

I have a kid, a wife (who is a dependant) and used our credit cards to buy everything so we could get more back...well turns out I only get back like 380,000...I ask my work if that means they lower the amount I pay each month...NOPE. The government of Korea takes my money, wastes it interest free and MAYBE gives some back to me at the end of the year!
