Here are the cases where input tax deduction is not allowed 🙅🏻‍♀️:


💡 What are some reasons for disallowing input tax deduction?

  • When a taxpayer fails to receive a tax invoice or when required details are missing or poorly recorded.
  • When a taxpayer fails to submit a summary of tax invoices by supplier when reporting VAT or when the summary is poorly recorded.
  • When the input tax is not related to the taxpayer's business.
  • When the input tax is related to the purchase, lease, or maintenance of a passenger car with eight or fewer seats.
  • When the input tax is related to entertainment expenses.
  • When the input tax is related to a tax-exempt business or land.
  • When the input tax is related to purchases made before registering as a taxpayer (if the taxpayer registers within 20 days after the taxable period).


💡 Are all passenger cars with eight or fewer seats subject to disallowed input tax deduction?

No, they're not all subject to disallowed input tax deduction! 🙅🏻‍♀️

  • Passenger cars with nine or more seats (including vans and buses).
  • compact car with an engine displacement of 1,000cc or less.
  • truck are eligible for input tax deduction 🙆🏻‍♀️.

However, please note that costs related to a vehicle registered under a spouse's name are not eligible for deduction!


💡 If input tax deduction for VAT is not allowed, can it still be reflected as a business expense when reporting aggregate income tax?

If appropriate evidence is provided, it can be reflected as a business expense when reporting aggregate income tax 🙆🏻‍♀️.

For example, if a taxpayer purchased an item for 1,100 won including VAT of 100 won:

  • If the input tax is deductible:

The input tax of 100 won is reflected as a deductible input tax when reporting VAT. The remaining 1,000 won can be reflected as a business expense when reporting aggregate income tax.

  • If the input tax is not deductible:

The entire cost of 1,100 won can be reflected as a business expense when reporting aggregate income tax.
