Crypto Surveillance Surge? South Korea’s Tax Office Rolls Out Aggressive New Profit‑Tracking
South Korea's National Tax Service (NTS) is developing an AI-powered system to track cryptocurrency investment profits for taxation, set to launch in 2027. With a budget of $2 million, the "Comprehensive System for Virtual Asset Transaction Analysis" will aggregate data from exchanges and blockchain analytics to detect tax evasion. The move follows previous delays and recent crypto scandals, intensifying pressure for stricter oversight. Once operational, the system will monitor high-value transactions across borders, making tax avoidance riskier. This model may influence other high-tax jurisdictions, challenging crypto's status as an off-grid asset class.
