FAQ
Q. What is the dividend income tax rate?
Dividend income is taxed at 15.4% (14% income tax + 1.4% local tax) at source. If total financial income exceeds KRW 20 million annually, it is added to comprehensive income and taxed at progressive rates of 6–45%.
Q. What is the ex-dividend date?
The ex-dividend date is the first trading day after the record date. To receive a dividend, you must own the stock by the record date (typically two business days before the last trading day of December for calendar-year companies).
Q. Is a high dividend yield always a good investment?
Not necessarily. A high yield may result from a sharp stock price decline or a one-time special dividend. Always evaluate the company's financial health, dividend sustainability, and growth prospects alongside the yield figure.
