Creating VAT-Compliant Receipts for South Korea
To generate a compliant receipt in South Korea, businesses must issue an e-Tax Invoice, which is mandatory for most entities, especially those with annual revenue exceeding KRW 100 million. The standard VAT rate applied to most goods and services is 10%, though some supplies are zero-rated or exempt. Key information to include for compliance on an e-Tax Invoice involves several mandatory fields: the supplier's business registration number (BRN) and name, the buyer's BRN (or ID/resident registration number for non-business persons), the value of supply (before VAT), the VAT amount, and the date of preparation. Customizing receipt templates should ensure these mandatory fields are prominently displayed and accurately populated.
