Minimum Pass Number for 2020 Tax Accountant Qualification Exam Confirmed at 700

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] The minimum number of successful candidates for this year's Certified Tax Accountant qualification exam has been confirmed at 700.

The National Tax Service announced on the 3rd that the Tax Accountant Qualification Review Committee decided to set the minimum number of successful candidates for the 57th Certified Tax Accountant qualification exam in 2020 at 700, the same as last year.

The minimum number of successful candidates, which was 700 until 2007, decreased to 630 in 2008 and was maintained at that level until last year, when it was increased back to 700.

This year's first exam will be held on May 9, and the second exam on August 8. The exams will take place in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Incheon.

In the first exam, each subject except English is scored out of 100 points, and candidates who score 40 or more in each subject and have an average score of 60 or more across all subjects will be considered successful.

In the second exam, each subject is scored out of 100 points, and candidates who score 40 or more in each subject and have an average score of 60 or more across all subjects will be considered successful.

However, if the number of candidates scoring 40 or more in each subject and an average of 60 or more across all subjects falls short of the minimum number of successful candidates, those scoring 40 or more in each subject will be ranked by their overall average score, and successful candidates will be selected in order until the minimum number is reached.

Applications must be submitted online only through the Korea Industrial Human Resources Corporation's national qualification exam website. Even those applying only for the second exam must submit their applications within the same period as the first exam. Detailed exam plans will be announced on the national qualification exam website on the 7th. For inquiries related to the exam, contact the Human Resources Development Service customer center.

The National Tax Service stated, "We comprehensively reviewed the expansion of the economic scale and the demand for tax services."
