[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] The National Tax Service announced on the 1st that it has sent application guidance letters for the Earned Income Tax Credit to 1.37 million low-income households with earned income in the first half of this year, and plans to pay the credit in December after reviewing applications submitted within the deadline.


The application period is from today until the 15th, and those who miss this period can apply in March next year (for the second half) or in May (for the regular application).



To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), applicants can conveniently apply without visiting the tax office by using non-face-to-face methods such as the automated response system, Hometax, Sontax, or phone application.
