The government has proposed a two-year postponement of the implementation of virtual asset taxation to January 1, 2027 through the Tax Act Amendment Bill 2024, but there are currently a number of legal issues regarding the proposed taxation method and the new method of calculating the acquisition value. In particular, it has been pointed out that the method of assuming up to 50% of the transfer value as the acquisition value requires in-depth review and clear legal standards in terms of appropriateness, clarity of application criteria, and protection of taxpayer rights. 

This is highlighted as an important issue to ensure the fairness and effectiveness of virtual asset taxation, and it is necessary to establish a flexible taxation system that takes into account the volatility and specificity of the virtual asset market in the future. In addition, it is also pointed out that it is urgent to prepare specific laws and regulations on the procedures for taxpayers to prove the actual acquisition value and the right to appeal.
