First 2yrs of tax goes to 'home' country

Written by dvm Friday, 11 September 2009 16:23

"Article 20 of the Korean Tax Code states: "An individual who is a resident of a contracting State and who, at the invitation of any university, college, or other recognized educational institution, visits the other contracting State for a period not exceeding two years solely for the purpose of teaching, or research or both at such educational institution shall be taxable only in the first mentioned State on his remuneration for such teaching or research."

So, if your institute withholds income tax, it is required to pay a refund.
