Last year, the country already suffered a record-breaking tax revenue deficit of 56 trillion won, and as the government announced a tax system reform plan containing tax cuts at the end of this month, concerns are growing that the tax revenue shortage could be exacerbated.
Regarding the comprehensive real estate tax, Director Seong Tae-yoon directly stated that the comprehensive real estate tax should be abolished or completely reorganized, and People Power Party lawmaker Kim Eun-hye and others also proposed a bill to completely abolish the comprehensive real estate tax.
The government has significantly reduced the real burden of comprehensive real estate tax by lowering the comprehensive real estate tax rate for multiple homeowners with three or more homes and abolishing the comprehensive real estate tax rate for those who own two homes. Why is additional comprehensive real estate tax reform necessary even under these circumstances?
Today on MBC's "Tax Cut for the Rich Amid the Tax Punk?", People Power Party Rep. Park Soo-min, former head of the Tax Expenditure and Budget Division at the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, Democratic Party Rep. Ahn Do-geol, former second vice minister of Strategy and Finance, and former Unified Future Party lawmaker Lee Hye-hoon from KDI and Myongji University. Professor Seok-jin Woo of the Department of Economics appears to discuss from various angles the overall evaluation of the government's tax cut policy and the direction of urgent economic policy for the difficult economic times.
