South Korea Finance Ministry Seeks Two-Year Delay of 22% Crypto Tax

The finance ministry's alignment with the ruling party's call for delay signals that crypto taxation in South Korea is now a politically negotiated timeline rather than a settled policy, which matters more than the two-year gap itself. The pairing with a three-year loss carryforward is the more substantive detail, acknowledging that taxing gains without offsetting losses would be a one-sided regime. Whether the National Assembly codifies this or the delay becomes a recurring cycle is the open question worth watching.
