At year-end, Hometax users check claims. Registering a receipt number is separate from checking which expenses qualify for deductions. For cash receipts issued using a mobile phone number, check that Hometax lists that number as an issuance method. After logging in, open the menu for managing phone numbers and cards used to issue cash receipts. If the number is missing or different, follow the on-screen instructions to register or change it. The article explains how to check usage history the day after registration and why transactions may be missing. It also covers conditions for combining family members' expenses and how cash receipts differ from business expense documentation. These distinctions can reduce guesswork when preparing expense records. If you received cash receipts using your mobile number, read the article before deciding which expenses to include in your year-end tax settlement.

Savers' cash needs depend on currency. Match asset roles to the currency and timing of planned expenses, as well as debt and loss tolerance. The money-supply growth claims remain unverified. Their measures and comparison dates need checking against Bank of Korea and Federal Reserve data before they can support an allocation decision. Cash can lose purchasing power while still covering living costs and debt repayments. Gold, silver and Bitcoin have different demand patterns and risks of price declines. The article also distinguishes the 1997 foreign exchange crisis from the risks of an aging population and low growth. For savers deciding how much to hold in each asset, consider the article's criteria before changing the mix. The focus is on matching each holding to spending needs and the losses that can be absorbed.

Tenants can request rent cash receipts. A landlord's consent or business registration is not needed for the application. The application and the year-end tax claim are separate matters. A cash receipt does not, by itself, establish how much rent qualifies for an income deduction. Spending and cap requirements still apply, and the same rent amount cannot be used for both an income deduction and a tax credit. For the Hometax application, prepare a copy of your lease agreement, a copy of your resident registration record and proof of rent payments. Enter the lease and payment details, attach the records and submit. You can then check the application result and the monthly receipts issued during the lease term. If you pay monthly rent as a tenant, read the article for the application steps and deduction rules before choosing how to claim that rent at year-end tax settlement.

Sep 21, 2026 matters to IPO investors. Daishin's interest rules cover companies filing from that date. The filing in question is the company's securities registration statement. The Financial Services Commission identified interest on IPO subscription deposits as a policy initiative on July 15, 2026. That is distinct from Daishin Securities' rollout. Payment terms still depend on the brokerage and the offering, so the policy announcement alone does not establish an individual interest payment. For an estimate, check the applicable rate, the deposit amount used in the calculation and the number of days counted. The article explains how deposits and refunds fit into that calculation. It also distinguishes an assumption-based annual projection from what any one subscriber might receive. Meeting the minimum subscription requirements does not guarantee a share under equal allocation. If you are considering a Daishin subscription for a company filing its securities registration statement on or after September 21, 2026, read the article for the calculation and filing condition. Confirm the rate and payment terms with the brokerage for that offering.

Nov 2 is VAT notice payers' deadline. For second-half 2026 interim notices, that is the payment deadline. October 26 is a separate filing deadline for corporations required to submit an interim return. The two dates call for different steps. Start by checking your business type and the value of supplies in the first half of 2026. Those facts help establish whether you need to file a return or should expect a notice. That distinction tells you which deadline to check before planning a payment or preparing records. If a notice arrives, look up its amount and payment date on Hometax. Check whether an extension granted by the tax authority applies, rather than assuming the standard date applies. If you need a separate payment extension, apply for one. If you must file an interim return, prepare your sales and purchase records for July to September 2026. Businesses facing a second-half 2026 interim notice, and corporations required to file an interim return, can read the article for the applicable steps. Complete the payment or filing by your deadline and check that it was processed.
