According to The Korea Herald, opposition lawmakers are in favor of a one-year extension from the start of crypto taxation in the country.

The People’s Party contesting the crypto tax law comes after a similar action by lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Party in September.

South Korea’s cryptocurrency tax system is one of many stringent regulations the government has recently enacted that could shape the country’s cryptocurrency market in the future.

In September, mandatory licensing requirements for South Korean crypto exchanges went into effect, with several smaller platforms having to close.
