Highlighting Key Tax Issues Facing Corporations

On June 30, law firm Sejong announced that it will hold a seminar on July 14 at Sejong in Jongno-gu, Seoul, under the theme of "Rapidly Changing Tax Environment and Corporate Response Strategy."

The Sejong Corporate Strategy and Tax Center plans to use the seminar to examine recent trends in key tax issues facing companies, such as tax audits, tax litigation, and Trump tariffs, and to discuss practical response strategies.

First, attorney Kim Min (2nd Bar Examination), who has experience working in the Investigation Bureau and Litigation Bureau of the Seoul Regional Tax Office, as well as the International Tax Team at the National Tax Service, and certified public accountant Yoon Geunhee, who has worked at the Tax Tribunal and the Adjustment Office, will jointly present on the topic "Trends in Tax Audits and Tax Litigation."

Next, on the subject of "The Horizon of International Taxation and Trump Tariffs," attorney Yoon Joonseok (39th Judicial Research and Training Institute), who served in the Tax Division of the Seoul Administrative Court and earned a doctorate in tax law from Seoul National University School of Law, and attorney Baek Hyeyoung (41st class), who previously served as a foreign exchange inspector at Seoul Main Customs and as deputy director of the WCO RILO AP (World Customs Organization Regional Intelligence Liaison Office for Asia and the Pacific), will give presentations.

For the comprehensive discussion, the session will be chaired by Lee Changhee, head of the Corporate Strategy and Tax Center and former professor at Seoul National University Law School. Participants will include Im Sungbin, former commissioner of the Seoul Regional Tax Office and head of the Investigation Bureau 4; Kim Byunggyu, former director general of the Tax Policy Office at the Ministry of Economy and Finance and former Deputy Governor for Economic Affairs of South Gyeongsang Province; senior foreign attorney Oh Hyuk, an international tax expert who has provided cross-border tax consulting at Deloitte US and Kwangjang Law Firm; and Professor Noh Miri of Dong-A University Law School, who is in charge of commercial and tax law. They will share their insights during the session.

Baek Jeheum, managing partner of Sejong (20th class), stated, "With the recent intensification of tax audit policies, changes in the international tax environment, and customs issues, the tax risks that companies must consider have become even more complex and diverse. I hope this seminar will help participants understand the major changes in the tax environment and seek practical response strategies."

Meanwhile, the Sejong Tax Group has enhanced its capabilities this year by recruiting former presiding judge Yoon Joonseok (39th class), attorney Lee Jisung (42nd class), senior foreign attorney Oh Hyuk, as well as certified public accountants Yoon Geunhee and Lee Jinwook, thereby providing comprehensive one-stop legal services for both domestic and international tax issues.
