Problem

The number of small-scale landlords in their late 50s who retire and rent out 2-3 studio apartments is rapidly increasing. However, rental income tax thresholds, changes to the three major rental housing laws, mandatory jeonse/monthly rent reporting, and comprehensive real estate tax criteria change every year, and missing them can result in surcharges (up to 20%). Consulting a tax accountant annually costs 500,000 to 1,000,000 KRW (approx. $375–$750), and even when checking directly on the National Tax Service's HomeTax, it's hard to find what has changed. In particular, small landlords with two or fewer properties often don't have a tax representative and are completely unaware of changes.

Solution

(1) Register property types, number, and location to receive filtered alerts only for tax law and regulatory changes affecting those conditions, (2) translate changes into 'how much my taxes increase or decrease in my situation,' (3) provide D-30/D-7 reminders for filing deadlines plus direct links to the HomeTax filing screen. It automatically monitors the Ministry of Justice's National Law Information Center and National Tax Service notices.

Target: Landlords aged 50-65 with 1-3 studio apartments or officetels, who file taxes themselves without a tax accountant, and households where rental income is the primary source after retirement.
Revenue Model: Basic alert service (2-3 major changes per year) is free; customized tax impact simulation + filing guide for 4,900 KRW per month (approx. $3.70); per-transaction fee for connecting with a tax accountant for 1:1 consultation.
