Book Introduction
No More Tax Worries! A Must-Read for New Business Owners

When I first started a business under my own name, the first wall I encountered was definitely 'taxes'.
If you leave it to the experts, it's difficult to understand everything, and if you try to figure it out yourself, each term feels daunting.

This book is for novice business owners who are at that very moment of uncertainty.
For those who have left their jobs and started their own business for the first time, those who are considering registering a business for the first time because their hobby has become profitable, or even self-employed people who are always worried about not having enough money despite doing well in business, this book is a practical introduction to taxes written by authors who understand such "initial anxiety" better than anyone else.

Taxes may seem difficult and distant, but they are actually essential for running your business stably.
Knowing where your money comes from and where it goes will reduce vague anxiety and make your business's direction clearer.
This book does not simply list tax knowledge.
Based on situations that CEOs may actually encounter, it provides friendly and clear explanations, from the basics that must be known to practical skills that no one has ever explained easily.

This book is a solid guide to help first-time business owners become friends with taxes.
The one book I need right now to protect myself from taxes and focus fully on my business.
I recommend this book to anyone looking for a practical guide that will replace fear with understanding and replace feelings of helplessness with the power to execute.

Into the book
If you are running a business, signing up for Hometax is essential.
Nowadays, most transactions and supporting documents are managed electronically.
For example, electronic tax invoices can be issued through Hometax, and issuance and receipt details can be viewed through Hometax.
Additionally, you will register various business-related documents on Hometax.
That is why we can say that signing up for Hometax is essential.

If you are a self-employed person, you can sign up in one of two ways.
One way is to register as an individual, log in, and then use the Hometax menu to switch to business status. The other way is to register as a business owner and manage Hometax.
If you share your Hometax ID and password with employees or others, we recommend signing up for business use only.

Many people think that filing a VAT return after closing a business means that tax filing is over.
Following the VAT filing, one thing you must remember is that you must file a comprehensive income tax return for the following year for any income earned before closing your business.
In the case of people who have been working for a long time, the company takes care of calculating the income from employment when they leave the company, so they often do not think about the taxes that come with closing the business.
Here's something to remember! If you close your business, you must file a comprehensive income tax return for any income generated up to the time of closure by May 31st of the following year.
--- p.65

When transferring a commercial property, the sale price is divided into the land price and the building price, just as at the time of purchase.
As explained earlier, it is important to have an appraisal conducted by a real estate appraiser or to have a tax accountant apportion the value based on the standard market price and calculate the value-added tax appropriately before preparing a sales contract.
You must prepare a real estate transfer contract and understand the timing of issuance of the tax invoice based on the timing of receipt of the transaction price.
After receiving the balance for the sale, capital gains tax, business closure report, and value-added tax report are filed.
Please note that there are tax obligations for various items and procedures.
Since the value of real estate transactions is large, the value added tax that is levied on them is also not small.
Therefore, you must consult with your tax accountant to avoid disputes during the sale and conclude the contract safely.
--- p.110

A donation is an amount of money that a business spends gratuitously and has no direct relation to its business.
The Income Tax Act recognizes these donation expenditures as necessary expenses within a certain scope for public interest or policy purposes.
For those with only business income, donation expenditures can be included in necessary expenses. For those with business income and other comprehensive income, donation expenditures can be included in necessary expenses or deducted from comprehensive income tax other than business income.
--- p.226

Publisher's Review
When starting a business, let's learn about taxes first!

When you first start a business, the first realistic wall you encounter is ‘taxes.’
Questions like accounting, value-added tax, the four major insurances, and comprehensive income tax, which are difficult to ask anyone, often add to the initial confusion of starting a business.
This book is a practical tax guidebook that contains only the essential information for novice business owners.

This book covers tax points encountered in actual startup settings, starting with business registration, industry selection, differences with freelancers, and precautions when operating shopping malls and SNS markets.
The structure of value-added tax, refund and reporting deadlines, and deductible expenses are organized in a practical manner, so they can be applied immediately in practice.

It provides basic information you need to know when hiring your first employee, such as employment contracts, the four major insurances, retirement pay, and withholding taxes, as well as helpful guidance on bookkeeping and tax-saving strategies for comprehensive income tax reporting.
Lastly, it includes all the tax-saving tips and tax benefits that are beneficial to business owners, such as small business tax deductions, business cards, donation deductions, and startup tax breaks.

Taxes can be scary if you don't know about them, but if you do, they become a powerful shield that protects your business.
For those seeking immediate knowledge rather than complex theories, this book will serve as a practical first step.
