Of course there are exceptions.
If the employee doing year-end tax settlement only has earned income, there is no need to report comprehensive income tax separately (they must have already done year-end tax settlement).
However, if you are an office worker who has not completed year-end tax settlement, you must file a global income tax report during the global income tax reporting period in May, and office workers who have left before the year-end tax settlement can also file a global income tax return in May of the following year.
In addition, if there is only retirement income or pension income without any other income, it is not subject to global income tax reporting.
Even if a person with other income of 3 million won or less per year seeks separate taxation, he or she is not subject to global income tax.
