For example, a Korean corporation with a taxable income of 30 billion KRW would be taxed as this:   

- For the first 200 million KRW, 9 %.   

- From 200 million to 20 billion KRW, increases to 19 %.    

- For income between 20 billion and 300 billion KRW, 21 % .  

Calculating under this system, the total corporate tax amounts to 5.88 billion KRW, giving an average tax rate of approximately 19.6 %

      

 The U.S. applies a flat 21% rate, as per the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, since the Trump Administration. It means that all corporate income is taxed at the same rate regardless of its level.
