Officetel house-count calculator

This guide follows the Korean officetel house-count calculator for acquisition tax, transfer tax, comprehensive real estate tax, and subscription treatment.

Tax-by-tax determination

The Korean source does not give one universal answer. It separately determines acquisition tax, transfer tax, comprehensive real estate tax, and subscription status, then reports how many of the taxable categories include the officetel as a house.

For acquisition tax, residential officetels acquired on or after 2020-08-12 can be included in the house count when the property-tax type is house and no exception applies. Business-use or building-tax-type officetels are generally excluded from the house-count branch.

Small new officetel exception

The small new officetel exception checks approval date and acquisition date from 2024-01-10 to 2027-12-31, exclusive area up to 60 sqm, and acquisition price up to KRW 600 million in the capital area or KRW 300 million outside it.

Standard price at or below KRW 100 million can exclude an officetel from the acquisition-tax house count, but transfer tax and comprehensive real estate tax can still follow actual residential use.

Practical warning

An officetel itself usually pays the officetel acquisition-tax rate around 4 percent, or about 4.6 percent including local education tax and special rural tax, regardless of whether it is counted as a house for another home purchase.

Subscription rules treat officetels as non-housing under the Building Act, but asset reviews for public or special supply can still count owned real estate value. The calculator keeps subscription separate for that reason.
