National Tax Service Sets Minimum Passing Number for This Year's Tax Accountant Qualification Exam at 700

[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyunjung] On the 22nd, the National Tax Service held the Tax Accountant Qualification Review Committee and decided to set the minimum number of successful candidates for this year's tax accountant qualification exam at 700, the same level as last year.

For the tax accountant qualification exam, excluding the English subject (replaced by official language test scores), candidates who score 40 or above out of 100 in each subject and have an average score of 60 or above across all subjects are determined to have passed the first exam.

In the second exam, candidates who score 40 or above out of 100 in each subject and have an average score of 60 or above across all subjects are determined to have passed. However, if the number of successful candidates meeting these criteria is less than the minimum number of successful candidates (700), then within the minimum number, those who score 40 or above in all subjects are selected in order of highest average score across all subjects.

The first exam is scheduled for May 29, and the second exam for September 4, to be held in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Incheon. Applications can only be submitted online through the national qualification exam website operated by the Human Resources Development Service of Korea. Even those who only take the second exam, such as those who passed the first exam last year or are exempted due to experience, must submit their application within the same application period as the first exam to be eligible to take the exam.

Detailed exam implementation plans will be announced on the 26th on the national qualification exam website by the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, and inquiries can be made to the service center.
