If a non-teaching foreigner (f-4)is making 60 million won in salary and W100mn in bonuses a year, at what rate would they be taxed? Is the tax rate gonna be larger for the bonus than the base salary? Never bothered to get an accountant since I dont own a car or a house, but after getting my raise this week and transferring over to being a regular employee from contract employee, I am kinda freaked out that I will be getting hit huge in Korea than also having to pay the IRS their blood money.

Hate to break it to you but you'll effectively be in 30% tax bracket in Korea.

The good news is that I am sure that taxes you pay in Korea will be credited in your U.S. income tax.

Go find yourself a tax advisor.
