ChainCatcher News, according to Korean media outlet Seoul Economic Daily, a nationwide petition calling for the cancellation of cryptocurrency taxation has been added to the National Assembly's agenda for discussion. Posted on the National Assembly's electronic petition platform, the "Petition to Cancel Virtual Asset Tax" garnered support from over 50,000 people in just eight days, meeting the threshold for submission to a standing committee for review. The petition will be transferred to the Strategy and Finance Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the National Tax Service, for further examination. Afterward, it will be decided whether to submit it to a plenary session for consideration. Petitioners believe that "since the financial investment income tax on stocks has been canceled and tax reduction policies are in place, it is unreasonable to levy a separate tax solely on virtual currencies," adding that "the current system needs a comprehensive review, not just simple supplementary measures."
