## Abstract

According to the disclosure of the present document, chroma quantization parameter offset-related information can be signaled through palette syntax coding, and index information for a chroma quantization parameter offset list can be efficiently parsed/signaled on the basis of information about the number of entries in the chroma quantization parameter offset list. Accordingly, bits that are required to be signaled in order to code a video/image can be reduced, and the coding efficiency can be enhanced.
