Settlements start from box office net of ticket VAT, and your rent invoices carry VAT.
Film Development Fund levy
Korean cinemas collect the levy inside the ticket price and pay it to KOFIC.
Hometax-ready invoices
Rent invoices go to Popbill, and the invoices of a period export as a Hometax CSV file.
