Frequently Asked Questions

What are some challenges that inbound Korean businesses face?

If a Korean business is considering expansion into other countries, there are many obstacles it might face on the road to international establishment, including:

  • Regulatory and Legal Compliance: Navigating foreign labor laws and standards can be complex, and compliance failure can have steep costs. Be sure you’re aware of any labor, tax, trade, environmental, or other legal regulations that may apply in your target market.
  • Economic Volatility: Factors like inflation, unemployment, and interest rates in your target market can impact growth potential for your business. Be sure to assess your target market’s economic volatility and have a plan for any unfavorable circumstances that might arise.
  • Cultural and Social Differences: When mobilizing a global workforce, it’s important to remember that different countries have different customs and communications styles when it comes to managing or discussing business. Be aware of any etiquette differences that could affect your relationships with foreign business partners or employees.
  • Intellectual Property Concerns: It’s crucial to develop protection strategies around any patents, copyrights, trademarks, and any other intangible assets that distinguish your business from others in the marketplace before taking your business global.

If you’re considering expansion into other countries, Aprio’s dedicated Korean Practice is here to help. Contact us today to learn more about our tax and business advisory solutions.

How do Korean and American tax approaches differ?

There are many key differences between tax approaches in South Korea and the United States, including:

  • Corporate Tax Rates: South Korea utilizes a progressive corporate tax system, with rates increasing for higher income brackets. The US has a flat rate for federal corporate income tax, and state corporate income tax rates range from 1-12%.
  • Filing Requirements: In South Korea, not all residents are required to file a tax return—generally, you’d only need to file if you have secondary income outside of your standard income. This is different from the US, where all residents are required to file an annual return.
  • Audit Process: In South Korea, tax-related audits are both thorough and fast, often completed in 120 days or less. Amicable resolutions are often more frequent than in the US, where the audit process is considered more aggressive and can often take much longer (2-3 years on average).

If your Korean business is considering expansion into the US, Aprio’s dedicated Korean Practice team can guide you through the process. Contact us today to learn more.
