If you are an English teacher in Korea, and you are worried about how your hagwon or company is filing your taxes every year, Christie Lee at Hana Tax service is the best tax accountant I have met. My company has always filed my Korean taxes for me since 2016, however over the past 2 years I was continuously paying in more and more. I wanted to meet with a Korean tax expert who spoke English to make sure my company was filing my taxes properly. Christie Lee at Hana Tax was simply amazing. She did not only look over and calculate my taxes from the last 2 years, but also, she went above and beyond and checked all my taxes since I started working there. In less than an hour she had answered my question, included my rent payments for my 2018 taxes and answered my other miscellaneous questions. Christie is a very sincere person and she took the time to explain what she was doing so that I would be able to file them myself correctly next time. As a teacher, I really appreciated how she explained things. Thank you again!

I am in the process of opening my office in Seoul and was very new to understanding the Tax process in Korea as a foreigner and struggling to find a CPA in Seoul that understand both local and US taxes. I was lucky enough to come across Christie and HanaTax. It only took one consultation for me to see how intelligent, professional , kind, understanding and punctual Christie was! She was by far the most caring and intelligent CPA I’ve ever found anywhere. She made the process and understanding everything less stressful and took the time to make me understand the process and feel at ease when taking the next step . You will not find a CPA like her anywhere and I look forward to working with her from now on! I highly recommend her to anyone with any situation as a foreigner living in Korea!

I asked Christie and the people at Tax in Korea to help me with a very complex global tax issue. She was with me every step of the way explaining what needed to be done by when. She also helped explain a fairly rare tax event to the Korean tax authorities. I hired Tax in Korea for a global income tax return and capital gains tax return. I'm very satisfied with the entire experience. I strongly recommend the firm to foreigners needing tax advice while living in Korea! *Update 2023* I hired Tax in Korea again this year for another global income tax return and everything went great! After two years of great service I still recommend Christie and her team to any foreigners looking for help with Korean taxes!

I had an exceptional experience with the tax consultation services provided by this company, specifically with Christie Lee CPA, who displayed an impressive depth of knowledge, patience and a genuine commitment to helping me navigate the complexities of my taxes and my future plans. They offered friendly, personalized advice and clear explanations, ensuring I felt sufficiently educated to be confident in every decision I made/will make. Thanks to their guidance, not only was I able to plan better on maximizing my returns but also gained a better understanding of my financial situation. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking professional and reliable tax assistance.

I contacted Christie from Hana Tax about a specific tax question related to Korea and the US. She went above and beyond in her support, researching for several days and providing me with various options. Although I did not end up using her tax services due to my specific situation, I was extremely impressed with her prompt replies, kindness, efficiency and professional demeanor. She did not receive any money from me (sorry Christie! :) ) despite doing a lot of preparatory work. If I ever need professional tax services in Korea I would definitely contact her again and recommend Hana Tax to others seeking these services. Thank you so much Christie.

Christie was quite knowledgeable in various questions I had regarding various personal tax issues regarding both US and Korean law. As an expat, I appreciate her ability to explain the intricacies of the Streamlined Foreign Compliance Procedure, FBARs, and how to invest in a Roth IRA as a foreigner working and living in Korea. I asked her about some other questions that were out of her scope of knowledge, and she was honest about it, which I also appreciated. Christie is a consummate professional who I will be entrusting my future US tax returns prep with. Highly recommend her.

I contacted Christie somewhat urgently to file my very late tax returns for previous years. She was extremely accommodating when it came to meeting with me, and she provided me with plenty of useful information to help get my tax returns done as quickly as possible. Her rates are very reasonable considering how quickly and efficiently she works, and she's very good with communication and conveying information! I would definitely recommend her services to anyone who is in need of an English-speaking accountant for Korean tax returns!

I was stationed in Seoul for 1 year; my husband traveled with me and got a work visa to be able to continue to earn an income while we were there. Because our stay was between 2018 and 2019, Christie helped us to prepare both years of taxes and to pay them as well. Being English-only speakers, this task had been very daunting to us but Christie handled everything quickly and professionally. Her rate for doing to was also very reasonable as well. If we ever were to return to South Korea, we would undoubtedly use her services again.

I have consulted multiple times with Christie and the staff at Hana Tax, every time they have been very helpful and knowledgeable. They show care and enthusiasm in their work. I would recommend their services to anyone, who is looking for professional accounting and tax services in Korea. The service can be provided in English, which is very helpful for foreigners. Because they have a pretty big client base they were also able to refer me other companies that might be able to help me with my company growth. Thank you Christie.

I cannot recommend Christie enough for expats looking into getting professional consultation for taxes and filing! She is sincere, highly astute in the laws and understands the needs of foreigners living in Korea, especially from the immigration perspective. Christie breaks down information clearly and is always consistent with communication, which I feel is the first thing in earning my trust as a client. I've had an incredible time working with Christie and look forward to working with her for my future tax filings!

Christie Lee has helped me file my back taxes. I'm SO glad that I went to her, and not some online service! She is very professional, kind, generous with her time, has EXCELLENT communication skills, and is very patient with explaining the details of what needs to be done. She's very easy to talk to, as her English is flawless and she's such a good listener. She is worth every penny (won), and definitely worth a couple trips to Seoul. I highly recommend her over any other tax service provider in Korea.

I needed help making modifications to my past tax returns due to foreign income issues, address changes, etc. Ultimately, I just wanted my taxes done properly. I was very happy with the way Christie resolved my issues. I sent her my files, and within a few weeks, everything was done. I was expecting to have to pay a significant amount since I was filing extra income, but I actually ended up getting a refund for two years. I will be using her services next year again. Highly recommended.

I had never filed taxes in Korea because the process was quite daunting for me. I was considering filing back-taxes for the years I had missed, but didn't know how to go about it and didn't know if it was worth my time. I found Christie recommended online and contacted her, and she was most helpful. She happily took a look at my banking records and gave me the best advice. She promptly responds to messages and speaks excellent English. Highly recommended.

I reached out to Christie and got a response on the same day, we had an appointment scheduled that very week. It was just a 30 minute call but we covered all the ground I was looking to cover and more. She also proactively suggested other contacts to help me with related issues, and once again got back very quickly when I had a follow-up question. I would recommend her services to any foreigner in Korea who needs to get their bearings, tax-wise.

Christie was professional, knowledgeable, and kind — I had a consultation with her and we were able to cover everything I was curious about in a thirty minute session. From broader questions to the more specific, Christie did not skip a beat and answered my questions with confidence and expertise. I left our call feeling clarity with how I should proceed to file my taxes thanks to her concise, clear advice — she has my highest recommendation.

Christie was beyond helpful! She was is super nice and polite, helped in communication in the bank getting all needed documents, offered arranging a pickup service. She not only handled my taxes with the full filling service but she offered to even help me to get some answers about my health insurance issue. She was willing to spend her time - for free!, to explain to me everything needed. I will be using her services for next years for sure!

I needed to get my U.S. tax returns and FBARs in order and was lucky to have found Christie! She's fast, thorough, and accurate. She's responsive and provides detailed answers to all my questions. She is wonderful and I look forward to continuing to work with her for all my U.S. tax filing needs while I am in Korea. She's knowledgeable in both U.S. and Korea tax laws, so I highly recommend Christie to any expats who are working in Korea

She is quick to respond and makes every appointment and email personal and well informed! Now I have no worries for when my 2019 taxes come around.

Christie is an intelligent and warm-hearted person. We had a consultation this morning about the steps I should take in order to start my own building (get the F visa) and what constitutes in her understanding of the tax law for needing to register as a business.

I was struggling to understand the taxation system in Korea as I've just moved here couple of months ago. Tried to read up everything online but it was too difficult to understand in a clear picture until Christie gave me a valuable insight and professional service. She gave me few important tips as well if you're running Sole-Prop company in Korea. If you're just like me, I would highly recommend Christie.

Christie was incredibly helpful in assisting me with taking care of a problem with my Korean tax return. She responded to my original request very promptly, and acted as an intermediary between myself and NTS.
