DaeRyuk Law Firm (CEO Lee Kyu-cheol) announced on August 25 that it will hold a "2026 Tax Reform Briefing" on September 2 at 2 p.m. in the DaeRyuk conference room on the 12th floor of Donghun Tower in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul.
The briefing aims to examine the key contents and procedures of the "2026 Tax Reform Plan" announced on August 3 and to provide effective response strategies for companies planning business succession.
Previously, the government announced the "2026 Tax Reform Plan," which includes a revised taxation system for treasury stock and a reform of the evaluation of listed stocks, reflecting the Commercial Act amended last year.
Business succession exemptions and special taxation measures for business succession have been utilized to facilitate smooth transitions while avoiding high inheritance and gift tax rates. However, confusion has arisen following the announcement of the government's tax reform plan.
DaeRyuk aims to help companies accurately understand the major changes resulting from the tax reform and to establish tailored business succession and tax strategies based on individual circumstances.
During the briefing, attorney Woo Ji-hoon (first bar exam) will present on "Revisions to Business Succession Exemption and Response Strategies," while attorney Choi Woo-seok (35th Judicial Research and Training Institute) will discuss "Revisions to Treasury Stock Taxation and Response Strategies."
Attorney Woo has served as a consultant for the Seoul Regional Tax Office and the Central Regional Tax Office, a member of the National Tax Service's Tax Accountant Qualification Review Committee, and a lecturer at the Seoul Bar Association's Tax Training Institute. He joined DaeRyuk in 2026 after serving as a research officer in the Supreme Court's Tax Division.
Attorney Choi began his career at the Ministry of Economy and Finance after completing the Judicial Research and Training Institute, working in various tax areas including income tax and corporate tax. He has also served as a research officer in the Supreme Court's Tax Division and held positions as the head of the Tax Policy Division and the Customs Cooperation Division before joining DaeRyuk in 2025.
DaeRyuk stated, "This will be a practical forum for companies planning business succession and stock asset adjustments to develop optimal strategies suited to their individual circumstances in response to changes in the tax environment."
Attendance at the briefing is available through prior registration, and further details can be confirmed by contacting DaeRyuk's BD Headquarters at ebiz@draju.com.
