Hotel Tax Refund Program

In an attempt to attract more overseas visitors, the Korean government implemented a new tax refund policy on hotel stays starting April 1, 2014 that is set to be in effect for 1 year. 

This incentive policy is applicable to international visitors who stay in a certified hotel for a total of more than two nights, but less than 30. In order to receive the tax refund, eligible recipients should be scheduled to leave Korea within 3 months from their check-out date and must present a Hotel Tax Refund Form, which they can receive from their hotel, at a designated Duty-Free Zone. The Hotel Tax Refund service process must be completed prior to leaving Korea in order to receive a refund, and the refund cannot be retroactively redeemed.
