So, what the heck is this 현금 영수증 that all the cashiers are asking me at Homeplus whenever I buy something?
i tried to ask a Korean teacher but she didn't make sense.
thanks

A two second google search reveals that it refers to "cash receipts."
On a side note, it seems strange that a forum dedicated to working in Korea, that you can't display hangeul in the thread title. |

uhh, yeah, thanks.
I was looking for more of a thoughtful answer besides of the given of what the words meant.
If anyone has ACTUAL answers describing how the receipts work with the tax process, then please explain~ |

I did if you look at my original post, but being nice obviously got me a blunt reply. |

If anyone has any modeditting questions that they can phrase properly, please put them up. Don't be a douche. You asked a question, you got an answer. Where in the OP does it say anything about tax?
Answer: If you get that receipt you can use it at the end of the year to get back (get a discount, my wife says) on your taxes. I guess purchases are deductible. |

If you apply for a tax card, receive it, and are paying in cash then you can request "현금 영수증해주세요" while giving them your tax card (looks like a credit card).
You can request "현금 영수증해주세요" anywhere and anytime you are paying in cash, even small convenient stores, Mcdonalds, movie theaters, Dongdaemun shops, etc. etc.
The cashier will swipe your tax card, and automatically your info and the cash amount (including tax) of your receipt will be sent to the tax office. Using this card helps to ensure that companies avoid tax evasion, so the tax office wants people to use the card.
As a reward for using the card....you will get a better rate on your tax returns each year.
If you're gonna be here a while and really want one, you should go to your local tax office and apply for the card. Otherwise when the Homeplus cashier ladies ask you that, just tell them "아니요, 괜찮아요" and go on your merry way.  |

"Ung?" |

actually, no. I'm Korean-American so I know the language a bit.
It's the weekend - I'm off work w/no phone so I couldn't meet with a Korean teacher to help me understand in full depth about it. |

No problem! I just started using mine about a month ago, so I can't speak to how beneficial it will be. The website said a 20% better rate on tax returns  but I don't fully understand it as my Korean isn't THAT good.
Question: Why was is so frustrating to you? Lol. I'm just curious. |

Well, I'm Korean-American w/no American accent when speaking so people just keep asking me, and if I want a point card. One time I actually tried to fill it out even after telling the lady I was gyopo, and that just ended up being a waste of time because she realized later that I don't have a citizen number. |

| You have to spend above a certain threshold (a fixed % of your annual salary) between Jan and Dec of each year to get any kind of rebate and credit card spending also counts towards that target. |
