A series of toughened international measures on cross-border trade and tariffs are posing challenges for major Korean companies that rely heavily on exports.
무역과 관세에 대한 일련의 강화된 국제적 조치들로 수출에 크게 의존하는 국내 기업들이 촉각을 곤두세우고 있다.


The measures include a digital tax to be implemented by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the U.S. government's request for global chipmakers to disclose secret business information, the European Union's first-ever carbon border tax plan and Japan's trade curbs exclusively targeting Korea.
이러한 조치에는 경제협력개발기구의 디지털세, 기업의 내부 정보를 공개하라는 미국의 반도체 기밀 요구, 유럽연합의 탄소국경세 계획, 일본의 대한민국 수출 규제 등이 포함된다.


The affected companies include: Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, POSCO, Hyundai Steel, Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME).
이로 인해 삼성전자, SK하이닉스, 포스코, 현대제철, 현대중공업, 대우조선해양 등의 기업들이 영향을 받았다.


Concerning the digital tax, Samsung Electronics, along with SK hynix, will be subject to a 15-percent tariff to be imposed on multinational enterprises from 2023 according to the OECD tax scheme announced on Oct. 8, in order to return more profits made by these business groups to the countries where they operate.
지난 8일 발표된 경제협력개발기구의 시행 계획에 따르면 디지털세와 관련해 삼성전자와 SK하이닉스는 이들이 수익을 창출하는 시장 소재국에 더 많은 이익을 돌려주기 위해 2023년부터 다국적 기업에 대해 부과하는 15퍼센트의 최저한세 지불 대상 기업이다.


KEY WORDS
■ tariff 관세
■ chipmaker 반도체 제조기업
■ multinational enterprise 다국적 기업
