[South Korean National Assembly Divided Over Timing and Fairness of Virtual Asset Taxation] The South Korean National Assembly's Strategy and Finance Committee held a comprehensive national audit for 2026, during which the ruling and opposition parties clashed over the issue of virtual asset taxation. Democratic Party lawmaker Yoon Hu-deok stated that delaying or repealing already-passed legislation undermines the foundation of the nation. People Power Party lawmaker Lim Yi-ja pointed out that overseas exchanges are not obligated to submit transaction details to South Korea, which compromises tax fairness, and that operators are not adequately prepared to build the necessary infrastructure.
