Hometax review
A free Korean tax portal covering filing, payments, refunds, records and consultations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hometax is Korea’s National Tax Service portal for individuals and businesses. It is intended for Korean taxpayers who need to file taxes, make payments, review notices and refunds, request certificates, or access related tax services online. Its coverage includes electronic comprehensive-income-tax filing, capital-gains-tax filing including stock transfers, housing-rental-income filing, year-end tax-settlement and deduction-data services, and tax-record lookup. The related Sontax mobile app provides selected filing, payment, inquiry and consultation functions on iOS and Android.
The product’s main advantage is breadth within Korean tax administration. In addition to filing, Hometax supports electronic tax-payment workflows, electronic tax-invoice issuance and lookup, tax certificates, civil-document applications, and online tax consultation with case search. This makes it relevant to solo taxpayers and small businesses handling several tax-related tasks in one government portal. Mobile access extends selected services beyond the web experience, while email, phone and documentation are available as support channels. The portal is cloud-based and also supports mobile deployment.
Hometax is free, with a starting price of 0 and no paid plan tiers. That makes it a practical choice for taxpayers who need direct access to Korean filing and payment services rather than a commercial tax-preparation subscription. It is less suitable for people seeking a conventional paid product with tiered features or a verified audit-support policy. Korean local-income-tax filing may be linked from some workflows, but state-filing options are not applicable to this product. Choose Hometax for broad Korean tax administration and payment access; consider an alternative if you need a commercial preparation workflow outside Korea.
