South Korea proposes 2025 tax reform with dividend, corporate changes Investing.com -- South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance announced a draft for the 2025 tax reform on Thursday, introducing several key changes to the country’s tax structure. The reform creates a separate taxation system for dividend income from high-dividend-paying companies, with rates ranging from 14% to 35%. To qualify, listed companies must maintain or increase dividend amounts year-over-year while meeting additional criteria - either maintaining a dividend payout ratio of 40% or higher, or having a payout ratio of at least 25% with annual dividends increasing 5% or more compared to the three-year average. For dividends distributed through capital reserves, major shareholders will face taxation on amounts exceeding the acquisition costs of their shares. The proposal partially reverses tax relief measures implemented by the previous administration. Corporate income tax rates will increase by 1 percentage point across all brackets, shifting from the current 9-24% range to 10-25%. Securities transaction taxes will also rise, with a 5 basis point increase for both the KOSPI (from 0% to 0.05%) and KOSDAQ (from 0.15% to 0.2%) exchanges. Additionally, the capital gains tax threshold for major shareholders has been tightened significantly, dropping from ₩5 billion to ₩1 billion.
