South Korea Seeks Fourth Delay to 22% Crypto Tax, Eyes 2029 Start

The repeated deferrals signal that political and administrative friction still outweighs the fiscal case for taxing digital asset gains, leaving Korean holders in a prolonged state of policy uncertainty. Whether this latest proposal holds, or becomes a fifth delay, is the open question worth tracking.
