Into the book
The income of high-income earners does not end with income tax.
Income disclosed when filing a comprehensive income tax return leads to secondary burdens such as health insurance premiums and gift tax when transferring assets to children.
--- p.20
Necessary expenses refer to actual expenses directly incurred by a business owner to generate income (for workers, this includes the earned income deduction prescribed by law).
Therefore, it is reasonable to deduct these expenses from income and then tax them on actual income.
From this perspective, necessary expenses are the most basic means of reducing taxes.
Of course, it cannot be increased indefinitely, and the standard income rate seen above must be taken into consideration.
--- p.51
In order to reduce income tax, it is necessary to first properly calculate necessary expenses and receive maximum income deductions.
However, calculating the tax in this way does not mean that all procedures are complete.
This is because the next step, the tax support system, remains.
Tax support systems are broadly divided into tax deductions and tax reductions.
--- p.59
There are cases where high-income businesses pay performance-based bonuses to their employees.
It is a kind of bonus paid to employees with good performance.
However, when performance-based pay is paid, there are cases where it is treated as an expense due to the four major insurance premiums that always follow.
In this case, processing it as a retirement pension instead of performance-based pay can be an alternative in this situation. Let's learn about this below.
--- p.97
In accounting, an asset is something that a company currently owns and is expected to provide economic benefits (profits) in the future.
Tax law recognizes expenses incurred from these accounting assets in principle, but restricts this for expenses that are unrelated to business or incurred excessively.
--- p.134
For self-employed individuals, the comprehensive income tax rate increases to a maximum of 45% as income increases.
If you add local income tax here, the effective tax rate reaches 49.5%.
On the other hand, the corporate tax rate ends at 25% (27.5%) no matter how high the income is.
Of course, if the profit is less than 20 billion won, it will be 10-22%, so it will be much lower than this (the corporate tax rate here is scheduled to be applied from 2026).
(9-24% is applied in 2025).
