Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki, who volunteered for a press conference, first refuted the tax bomb theory.

The revision of the Comprehensive Real Estate Tax Act will increase the tax revenue by about 900 billion won, but it accounts for only 0.3% of the total national tax revenue, and the real estate tax is slightly increased for homeowners, but the acquisition tax rate and property tax rate remain unchanged.

It was revealed that there are some unions that actually inquire about public reconstruction included in the July 10 measures, saying that it is more beneficial to members than private reconstruction.

[Hong Nam-ki/Deputy Prime Minister of Economy: The amount of general sales including members is increasing. There is no additional penalty for existing members from the original method. Rather, it would be profitable.] It

is still far from the prospect of private research institutes that the reality of supplying 70,000 units through public reconstruction, etc. is doubtful.

For concerns about side effects such as rising jeonse prices and the conversion of monthly rents due to the Lease Protection Act, it took time to settle down the system and needed cooperation from the public.

He also stated that the goal of real estate policy is not to stabilize prices, but to lower some excessively uplifted areas.

In a situation where it is no longer possible to blame for inadequate legislation, it is interpreted as being conscious of negative public opinion and actively communicating and persuading.

However, there was hardly any explanation for the tinkering prescription that is made after the market confusion, such as maintaining tax benefits for rental companies or reviewing adjustment of the rent to jeon/month conversion rate.

Deputy Prime Minister Hong said that some of the ruling party's arguments that the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations are responsible for the surge in house prices are not divided as if cutting tofu for each regime as there is a considerable time lag before the real estate policy takes effect.
