Two ways to get it

If it is not on Hometax yet, or it looks wrong, your employer may not have filed it — ask them first.

On the receipt, a negative tax to collect (차감징수세액) means a refund. To see what to expect before February, try the year-end tax settlement calculator.

Left a job during the year?

Your employer settles the tax for that job when you leave. The receipt for that job still comes from that employer.
