I have just received my salaray and I have paid 4 times what I usually pay. I heard these are the new rules and foreigners will have to pay much more tax from now on.

Can anyone shed some more light on this?

Thanks.

I heard something about this. There is another thread about it. Don't know where it is though. Anyways, I received my february pay and it was the same as normal. I am Canadian. I don't know if that matters.

sounds fishy.....are you a newbie? Taxes are low for foreigners. That does not change overnight. Sounds like you got robbed by your boss. But I might be wrong, if the previous poster can explain.

I would still say that paying 4x what you normally do means someone is robbing you.

This could just be a one time adjustment seeing as it's end of the year and they may not have been paying enough before this.

Go to the Korean Tax Service and check.

Look for the English link and then the tax advocate.
