Han Dong-hoon: "Decide on the crypto tax deferral without further delay"

• Han Dong-hoon posted on Facebook on October 22 titled "Digital asset tax deferral should be decided without delay," repeating his push to postpone crypto taxation.
• Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Lee Hyoung-il told a National Assembly audit session the same day that he would "deliberate as thoroughly as possible" on digital asset taxation; Han said thorough deliberation should and would lead to deferral.
• Han argued the taxation plans discussed so far fail to adequately reflect income across different transaction types and raise equity concerns following the abolition of the financial investment income tax.
