South Korea lawmakers push for another crypto tax delay until 2029

South Korea's ruling Democratic Party lawmakers have recommended postponing cryptocurrency income taxation to 2029. Lawmakers cited gaps in overseas transaction reporting, unfinished digital asset legislation and concerns over exchange readiness as reasons for seeking additional preparation time.
