Taxes for a freelancer with an F-4 visa

Hello everyone! 

Please help me understand taxes in Korea 🙏

Specifically, I'm interested in the situation: I have an F-4 visa, I work as an IT specialist for an international company remotely (not Korean), and I transfer part of my salary to Korea. What are the registration options (self-employed, sole proprietorship, simplified taxation, etc.)? What are the differences between them? There is so much conflicting information online, it's hard to figure it all out. 

It would be great if you could create a guide on taxes in Korea. 

And there are not enough hyphens in the Russian texts 🥲


Thank you for your work!

    We made it readable even without hyphens.
    We made it so that words don't break when the text gets long and line breaks occur!
