Let's see how the general real estate tax changes.

The government said that it would return the tax that was raised sharply in a short period of time under the previous administration to the previous level, but since it is a large reduction in the tax levied on people who have expensive houses or multiple houses, controversy over tax cuts for the rich is also expected.



Then, reporter Han Sang-woo reports.



<Reporter> The



government diagnosed the comprehensive real estate tax as a punitive tax with no effect on stabilizing house prices in a short period of time.



[Cho Kyung-ho / Deputy Prime Minister of Economy: There is no effect of actually stabilizing the market, and it was operated really abnormally, I think.]



Currently, a single homeowner pays an estate tax starting with a house with an announced price of 1.1 billion won and a market price of 1.57 billion won or more. It was decided to raise the standard to 1.2 billion won for the announced price and 1.7 billion won for the market price.



In particular, this year, we plan to raise the announced price to KRW 1.4 billion.



It was also decided to lift regulations on the middle of multi-family dwellings.



Taxes are levied on the sum of the total house price on any number of houses, and the top tax rate is also reduced from 6% to 2.7%.



[Woo Byung-tak / Shinhan Bank WM Consulting Center Real Estate Team Leader: Although the amount is less than the case of owning a more expensive house as a single house, there were many cases of paying much more tax when owning several houses in the countryside. It can be seen that the part has been relaxed.]



The current market price of 2 billion won, Maporaemian Prugio 84㎡ in Seoul, will reduce the property tax by 900,000 won from 2.6 million won to 1.7 million won next year.



Multi-homeowners have a much larger tax cut.



I have 3 apartments in Gangnam, Seoul, and if the market price is 10 billion won, the property tax will be reduced by 300 million won.



Even single homeowners get more benefits as the house price increases, so more than half of the property tax is paid for an apartment with a published price of 2 billion won.



The tax revenue that will be reduced due to the tax reform is 1.7 trillion won, which is bigger than the income tax cut for employees.
