At my school we are charges 3.3 percent of our earnings for taxes. 3 percent for the normal, and .3 for some special Gangnam tax. Does anyone know for sure if this is proper? |

not unless you are making tons of money...
Taxes are NOT a flat rate percentage.
They are on a sliding scale based on your earning and allowable deductions (just like at home).

input your salary in MAN won (2.1 mil = 2100 MAN won, 2.2 mil = 2200 MAN won).
You get out what your taxes SHOULD be.
If you are being flat rated at 3.3% then your boss is a cheat. You must be at a hakwon.
