Practical guides
Planning your next step
Starting points for local and overseas teams preparing to set up, report on, or review Korean operations.
Market entryWhat should we prepare before setting up a Korean entity?
Outline your intended business activities, target dates for incorporation and operations, and the people responsible for local accounting, payroll, and HQ reporting. Share your reporting requirements early so you can plan the initial setup.
Month-end closeWhat do we need for our first HQ reporting cycle?
Confirm the reporting package, submission deadline, account mapping, reporting currency, and exchange rate conventions. Keep a reconciliation of differences between the local books and the figures submitted to headquarters.
International taxWhat documents should we gather for an intercompany tax review?
Gather the agreements, invoices, and payment records. Note which entities performed the work, the period covered, the relationship between the parties, and how the amounts were determined.
