Step 3 Complexity of Tax structure on Rental income

Problem

Small-scale landlords in their 50s-60s (owning 1-3 studio apartments or officetels) cannot independently calculate whether separate taxation or comprehensive taxation is more advantageous for their annual Rental income, what the deemed expense rate is, or how much additional national health insurance premiums will be assessed. Even when choosing separate taxation for Rental income under 20 million KRW (~$15,000), taxes vary significantly depending on registered Rental status and deemed expense rates (50% vs. 42.6%), but almost no landlords understand this structure. Errors are frequent when self-filing on HomeTax (Korea's online Tax filing system).

Solution

Enter number of Rental properties, monthly rent, deposits, and registered Rental status to automatically calculate separate vs. comprehensive taxation comparison, actual Tax payable after applying deemed expense rates, and additional national health insurance premium assessments. Includes scenario comparisons like 'How much would you save by converting to registered Rental?'

Target: Ages 50-65, owning 1-5 small Rental properties, annual Rental income of 10-40 million KRW (~$7,500-$30,000), whose scale is too small to justify hiring a Tax accountant
Revenue Model: Basic calculation free. Annual Rental income comprehensive Report (for Tax filing) PDF at 5,000 KRW (~$3.75). Tax accountant filing service referral.
