The Penalty Brings Significant Financial Burden for the Company

WeMade made this announcement on the 3rd of the month, stating that the central regional National Tax Service of Korea had completed its investigation, resulting in a tax obligation. The taxes to be repaid, representing 10.05% of the company’s equity, are due by February 29th.

This calculation includes amounts assessed for both WeMade and its subsidiary WeMade Tree. WeMade Tree, a subsidiary established by WeMade in January 2018 to enter the Blockchain sector, played a significant role in the cryptocurrency business currently under review. The subsidiary was merged with WeMade in February 2022. Tax authorities took into account the financial status of both entities when determining the back tax amount.

Cryptocurrency WEMIX Investigation and Tax Implications

The investigation conducted by the Korea National Tax Service specifically focused on the cryptocurrency WEMIX, previously issued and used by WeMade and WeMade Tree. The decision to collect back taxes was based on the findings of this review.

A WeMade spokesperson stated, “We plan to honestly pay the taxes arising from the accounting and tax transactions of Wemix from 2019 to 2022. As the tax treatment of crypto assets becomes more definitive, the stability of the company’s operations will also increase.”

Navigating the Crypto-Focused Tax Environment

The retrospective tax applied to WeMade reflects the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency taxation in South Korea. As tax authorities scrutinize businesses involved in the cryptocurrency sector, companies must navigate a complex regulatory environment.

WeMade’s commitment to transparently handling its tax obligations indicates a proactive approach to compliance. The spokesperson’s acceptance of increasing definitiveness in crypto asset tax practices underscores the broader impact of such regulations on the stability and future prospects of companies operating in the Blockchain and gaming industries.

In conclusion, WeMade’s encounter with the National Tax Service highlights the importance of comprehensive tax compliance in the dynamic world of crypto assets. As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, companies must adapt to ensure the sustainability of their operations and maintain trust among stakeholders.
