The media present all kinds of claims of economic disaster from professors and other supposedly knowledgeable commentators.
Koreans pay capital gains tax for stock transactions in the US and other countries. Should foreigners pay capital gains tax on stock transactions in Korea? Only fair.
If the foreigners do not pay capital gains tax on stock transactions in Korea, most are required to pay capital gains tax on the transactions in Korea in their home country. Have to pay.
Only rich Koreans are not paying.
But no mention of this in any of the media to date.
