Korean CPA & attorney · Seoul
A Korean subsidiary files the same returns as any domestic company. We handle what the parent relationship adds on top.

Payments made to head office, charges billed back to it, and the annual international transaction filings are treated as their own workstream. They are not left to fall between a bookkeeping engagement and international tax.
A licensed Korean CPA and an admitted Korean attorney sit in the same firm, so a transaction is assessed for tax exposure and legal risk at the same time rather than in sequence through two separate advisers.
We carry out Financial, Tax and Legal Due Diligence and M&A support ourselves, including field work and reporting. Deal work is not referred out to a third party.
Filings, financial reporting and correspondence are prepared in English as standard by the professionals who perform the work, not passed through a separate translation step.
How We Work
We establish what the Korean entity actually does with its parent, and which Korean obligations follow from that. Contracts and invoices are read against how the work is really performed.
Each position is decided and written down before it is applied – whether withholding arises, how a charge is rated for VAT, which annual filings are in scope.
We prepare and file in English, and keep the basis for each position on record for the year it is questioned rather than reconstructing it under audit.
