We will be strong supporters for the public!

Greetings,
Welcome to the Korean Association of Certified Public Tax Accountants (KACTA).

Established in 1961 under the "Certified Tax Accountant Act," certified public tax accountants are professional experts in taxation with a strong sense of public duty. They are dedicated to protecting the rights of taxpayers and ensuring that tax obligations are fulfilled with integrity.

Tax accountants have consistently safeguarded the fundamental rights and property of individuals and businesses, acting as the stewards of tax sovereignty. They provide expert tax, accounting, and management consulting services essential for fulfilling tax obligations and efficient business operations.

Moreover, by implementing advanced tax systems such as self-assessment, e-filing, and tax compliance verification, they have played a pivotal and committed role in establishing one of the world's most economical tax systems.

The Korean Association of Certified Public Tax Accountants, composed of over 16,000 professionals dedicated to serving the public and businesses, was founded on February 10, 1962. With over 60 years of history, it is a leading community of top-tier tax experts.

The KACTA oversees essential functions for the development of tax systems and administration, including membership registration, discipline, and monitoring. It also ensures rigorous oversight of professional conduct, enhances service quality through training and consulting for members, and promotes accounting and tax software as well as professional platforms.

In addition, the association actively fulfills its social responsibilities by engaging in public welfare activities such as the "Community Tax Accountant" initiative, "Dream Volunteer Group," and the "Public Welfare Foundation," which involve talent donation and social service. It also strives to enhance the professional competencies and welfare of approximately 50,000 staff members working in member offices.

Through its website, KACTA provides taxpayers with the latest tax information and solutions for tax-related challenges. It also offers tax accountants valuable resources and practical insights to enhance their expertise and efficiency in the field. We hope your visit is both beneficial and rewarding.

Looking ahead, KACTA aims to achieve transformative innovation in three key areas: the workplace of tax accountants, the association itself, and the tax accountant system. Our goal is to build an association led by its members and beloved by the public. We deeply appreciate your continued support and encouragement.

Thank you.

Koo Jae-yi,
33rd President of the Korean Association of Certified Public Tax Accountants
