Solo Biz Tax Calendar for Retirees

4.30

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Trend of people in their 50s starting solo businesses after retirement
→
Step 2 Failure to manage solo business tax filing schedules
→
Step 3 Annual losses of $375–1,500 (500,000–2,000,000 KRW) from late-filing penalties

Problem

People in their 50s who start solo businesses (consulting, freelancing, small online shops) after retirement frequently miss tax deadlines — VAT preliminary filings, interim income tax payments, withholding tax filings — and end up paying penalty surcharges. During their corporate career, the company handled everything, so they have zero concept of a tax calendar. Meanwhile, monthly tax accountant retainer fees of $75–225 (100,000–300,000 KRW) are a burden for solo businesses with minimal early revenue.

Solution

Enter your business type code, revenue scale, and taxpayer category (simplified/standard) to get: (1) auto-generated annual tax filing schedule, (2) alerts at 7/3/1 days before each deadline, (3) brief guides on required documents and calculation methods for each filing. Notifications delivered via KakaoTalk alert messages.

Target: Ages 50–62, 1–2 years into post-retirement solo business, not using a tax accountant, annual revenue under $37,500 (50 million KRW)
Revenue Model: Basic calendar & alerts free; filing guide Premium at $3.70/month (4,900 KRW); tax accountant referral commissions
