Anyways, if you only have 60,000 deducted from a 2.1 or 2.2 million salary, something isn't adding up. Check to make sure your pension and medical insurance is being paid.



No, I said that 61,000 is my income tax deduction. My pension and medical are being deducted in addition to that, at the appropriate amount.

One way to approach your (possibly dodgy) boss is to visit the tax office and get the info you need. Presenting it to your boss in a 'tax rules are so confusing for everyone ...' way offers a face saving option.


That's a good idea, I may have to do that. Do you know if they'll actually provide a consultation on a walk-in basis?

Are you going off of what your employer is telling you for deductions or are you verifying the amounts deducted and salary reported to the agencies concerned? Let's say it's not unheard of for a dodgy employer in Korea to report an employee's salary at half the actual rate, deduct the correct rate on the whole salary, turn over to the appropriate agency the rate based on the incorrectly reported salary, and pocket the difference.
