On April 30, the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Korea and new member Samil PwC co-hosted a morning seminar on key Korean tax changes taking effect from 2025. Led by Samil PwC Partner Robert Browell, the session covered key developments including regular and non-regular audits by the National Tax Service (NTS), as well as available incentives for foreign-invested companies such as tax holidays and cash grants. The discussion also addressed how foreign firms can navigate the complexity of the Korean tax system and avoid costly missteps.

As one of Korea’s largest and most experienced tax advisory firms, Samil PwC plays a crucial role in helping companies manage tax risk. Their team often acts as a first line of response when NTS auditors arrive unannounced — assisting with communication, compliance, and ensuring that audits are conducted with due process and minimal disruption to business operations.

Despite the early start, the seminar drew strong engagement from attendees, with a high level of participation and practical questions throughout.

AustCham Korea will continue to deliver expert-led events to support Australian and international businesses operating in Korea.
