Business cards registerable on Hometax

50 cardscards per individual business

The cap on how many cards an individual business can have collecting data automatically. It is set administratively by the National Tax Service rather than in the Act, so it moves without a statutory amendment.

Applies to
Individual businesses. Corporate cards are linked to the company already and are not registered this way.
Review cadence

    50 cards

    Credit cards in the business owner's own name only. Family cards and debit cards are outside the scheme.

One reading so far. This becomes a history the first time the figure moves while we are watching — which is the part that cannot be reconstructed later.

Evidence

  • Hometax business credit card registration page listing eligible and ineligible card types and the credit information consent

    The eligibility list as the National Tax Service words it. Accepted: credit cards and check cards in the name of the representative or the company, and rechargeable prepaid cards converted to a registered name — gift cards only. Refused: family cards, gift cards, rechargeable prepaid cards, 직불카드 and department store cards. Note that a check card is accepted while 직불카드 is not; English guides that translate both as 'debit card' get this backwards. The screen also asks that a freight driver welfare card be kept out, and states that a card registered this month can be checked for an identity match from around the 10th of next month.

  • Empty Hometax business credit card registration form showing the card number field capped at 50 cards, a mandatory mobile number field, and an empty registration list

    The card number field is labelled 최대50장 — the 50-card cap, on the screen rather than in a guide. Beneath it: 대표자 또는 기업 명의의 신용카드·체크카드만, confirming check cards are in. A mobile number is mandatory because that is where the SMS goes if a card number is wrong, and clearing the card numbers clears it too. The registration list below shows the columns you will be reading later — card type, number, request date, confirmation date and processing status — with the warning that an entry cannot be deleted while the status reads 확인요청중.

    2026-09-01 · Browser chrome cropped away. Nothing masked: the form was blank, with no business registration number, trade name, card numbers or phone number entered, and the registration list empty at 총 0건.

Guides that depend on this figure

When this figure moves, every guide above needs the same edit. That is why it is tracked here rather than copied into each one.
