Samsung C&T Adds AI Tax Service ‘Tax AI’ to Homeniq Home Platform

Samsung C&T Corp.’s construction division is expanding its home platform, Homeniq, beyond basic residential convenience features into professional asset management services.
 
Samsung C&T said Tuesday it has partnered with AI tax solution provider New I to offer its customized tax analysis service, Tax AI, through the Homeniq app.
 
With the partnership, Homeniq users can add tax services to existing functions such as home IoT controls, community facility reservations and vehicle management. Through a dedicated in-app page, users can run refund analyses for taxes including capital gains tax and the comprehensive real estate holding tax.
 
For residents preparing to move into newly built complexes, the service also provides AI simulations for major move-in taxes such as acquisition tax. Samsung C&T said it expects the tool to help prevent overpayment or underpayment and reduce the risk of penalties caused by filing errors. Starting in May, the platform will also provide tax and asset price information linked to South Korea’s real estate transaction price disclosure system, the company said.
 
Samsung C&T said Homeniq users will receive exclusive benefits, including 10 free uses of the tax simulation service, valued at 15,000 won per case. Users who complete an analysis of expected past capital gains tax refunds will receive a coffee coupon.
 
New I said it has a proprietary AI algorithm built on analysis of 9.3 million cases. The company also holds patented technology that determines in real time whether tax reductions apply, based on daily tax law algorithms from 2020 to the present. It won the top prize, a minister’s award, at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s 2024 real estate service startup competition.
 
“Homeniq, which improves convenience in apartment living, has been upgraded further by adding professional tax services,” said Ji So-young, head of Samsung C&T’s H&B Platform Business Team. “We will continue developing it into a platform that supports customers’ overall residential lives, regardless of when they move in.”
