What comes out when you sell stocks in 2026
- Securities transaction tax: from 2026, KOSPI 0.20% (transaction tax 0.05% + rural special tax 0.15%), KOSDAQ 0.20%. Deducted automatically when you sell.
- Trading fees: vary by brokerage and channel; online accounts are often around 0.01–0.015% (check whether exchange-related fees are included).
- Capital gains tax on Korean listed stocks: not paid unless you're a major shareholder (above set holdings per stock). The financial investment income tax was abolished.
- Overseas stocks: no transaction tax, but 22% capital gains tax applies to annual realized gains above ₩2.5M.
