📌 What is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)?
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a government support program for hard-working, low-income households, including workers, business owners, and religious workers. Depending on household type and income, you can receive up to 3.3 million won in support, and it's a work-related welfare program that increases benefits the more you work.
📌 What is the Child Tax Credit (CTC)?
The Child Tax Credit (CTC) is designed to help low-income households alleviate the burden of childcare costs. Households with dependent children under 18 and a total income of less than 70 million won are eligible for up to 1 million won per child. Applying for both incentives simultaneously can result in up to 4.3 million won for dual-income households!
