Abstract

An image decoding method according to the present document comprises the steps of: receiving a bitstream including residual information; deriving a quantized transform coefficient for a current block on the basis of the residual information included in the bitstream; deriving a residual sample for the current block on the basis of the quantized transform coefficient; and generating a restoration picture on the basis of the residual sample for the current block, wherein the residual information includes position information for indicating the position of a transform coefficient, which is not the last 0 in a transform block, and the position information can be derived if a transform skip is not applied to the transform block.
