Tax-exempt business and withdrawal eligible product scope
Tax-exempt business settlement information allows withdrawal requests only for tax-exempt products.
Product types classified as tax-exempt products on CLASS101 are as follows:
Books
E-books — Including PDF, ePub, audiobooks, etc. provided in electronic format
General courses, memberships, kits, and other taxable products outside the above types cannot be withdrawn using tax-exempt business settlement information.
Why are only books and e-books tax-exempt?
According to Article 26, Paragraph 1, Item 6 of the Value Added Tax Act, certain items such as books, publications, and records are exempt from value added tax to promote culture and publishing. Books provided in electronic formats such as PDF, ePub, and audiobooks also receive the same tax exemption. National Tax Service interpretation cases also view e-books and audiobooks provided through flat-rate subscription as having the same nature as individual book purchases, making them eligible for tax exemption.
On the other hand, course videos, memberships, kits, etc. do not fall under tax-exempt categories under the same law and are processed as general taxable items (10% value added tax applied).
How do I withdraw taxable products?
To withdraw earnings from taxable products, you must separately register settlement information as a general taxpayer, corporate business, simplified taxpayer, or individual (non-business) type.
📌 To summarize
Tax-exempt products (books, e-books, audiobooks, etc.) → Withdrawal possible with tax-exempt business settlement information
Taxable products (classes, memberships, kits, etc.) → Withdrawal not possible with tax-exempt business settlement information, separate settlement information (taxable/individual) registration required
If you operate both types of products, please register tax-exempt and taxable settlement information separately and select the appropriate settlement information for each product when applying for withdrawal.
