South Korea Tax Codes

Tax codes determine how much tax is paid on each transaction line item. For NetSuite to calculate correct values on transaction records and tax reports, make sure that the tax codes for South Korea are set up correctly.

For more information on tax codes, see Tax Code Properties and Creating Tax Codes.

Tax Code Table for South Korea

The following table shows the tax properties required to correctly generate the South Korea tax reports provided by the International Tax Reports SuiteApp. The tax code names or letters presented in the table are suggested names or default system preferences. You can rename the tax codes. Tax reports identify transactions by looking at the tax code properties, not the tax code names.

On the New Tax Code or Edit Tax Code page, check the boxes of the properties that apply to the tax code. For more information about tax code properties, see Tax Code Properties.

Note:

Tax type should be set to VAT.

To understand how NetSuite uses the tax codes to get the values for the General Value-Added Tax Return form for the Republic of Korea, see What goes into each box - South Korea VAT report.
