How to look up and download cash receipts on Hometax

Look up personal cash receipts (income deduction)

1. 1

   Sign in to Hometax

   Sign in on a computer, or open the Sontax (손택스) mobile app.

2. 2

   Open the usage list

   Go to 계산서·영수증·카드 (invoices, receipts, cards)현금영수증(근로자·소비자) (cash receipts, workers and consumers)근로자·소비자 조회/변경 (look up / change)현금영수증 사용내역(소득공제) 조회 (usage list, income deduction).

   The NTS FAQ gives this path. Hometax has been reorganized before, and some older FAQ answers still start from 조회/발급.

3. 3

   Choose the period and filters

   On the Sontax version of this screen you pick 월별 (monthly), 일자별 (by date) or 월별누계 (monthly totals), then 조회구분 (all, or 사업자지출증빙용 거래 for expense-proof ones) and 발행구분 (general, traditional market, public transport, books and shows). Press 조회 (search).

   Each row shows the merchant (상호), approval number (승인번호), use (용도), date (사용일자), amount (사용금액) and issue type. The NTS says you can go back 36 months.

4. 4

   Save the list

   The NTS FAQ does not mention a download button for this personal list, and the Sontax screen shows none. If your screen has a print or download button, use it; otherwise print the page from the browser and choose Save as PDF.

1. 1

   Open the cumulative view

   In the same menu, open 현금영수증 사용내역(소득공제) 누계조회 (cumulative usage) and choose the year to see the total for that year.

Download business expense-proof receipts (Excel)

A business takes cash receipts as 지출증빙 (expense proof), issued to its business registration number or a registered business card. They sit in a separate business list.

1. 1

   Open the purchase list

   Go to 계산서·영수증·카드현금영수증(매입·지출증빙)사업자 매입·지출증빙 조회/변경현금영수증 매입내역(지출증빙)조회.

   Download or print

   Search, then click 엑셀 내려받기 (Excel download) or 인쇄 (print). The NTS notes that the approval number and the user appear in the Excel file and printout.

3. 3

   Check the VAT deduction flag

   To change whether a receipt counts toward the VAT input credit, use 현금영수증 세액공제 확인/변경 in the same menu, from the day after issue. The change shows in the purchase list the next day.

Income deduction vs expense proof

The NTS says a cash receipt marked 지출증빙 counts as qualifying proof for a business (Income Tax Act Article 160-2) and, from a general taxpayer, supports the VAT input credit (VAT Act Article 46(3)). Ask a Korean tax accountant (세무사) how it applies to you.

If a receipt is missing or filed under the wrong use

• Too soon: merchants send the data overnight, so a receipt shows from 9 a.m. the next day.
• Number not registered: register it under 현금영수증(근로자·소비자)소비자 발급수단·전용카드현금영수증 발급용 휴대전화번호/카드관리, or by phone at 126-1-1. Past receipts show from the next day.
• Issued to 010-000-1234 (no number given at payment): register it under 현금영수증 자진발급분 소비자등록 with the amount, approval number and date.
• A business owner who got an income-deduction receipt by mistake: change it under 현금영수증 사업자용으로 용도변경.
• Expense-proof receipts taken with your personal phone number go to the business in 지출증빙 귀속 사업장 입력. With several businesses, assign each one under 현금영수증 지출증빙거래지정 (within 36 months; you cannot change it yourself afterwards).
• A receipt the merchant canceled: Hometax texts you, and the usage list shows approvals and cancellations.
