<Anchor> The



government has announced that it will reduce taxes from next year.



We have come up with a plan to cut taxes by more than 13 trillion won, including income tax, property tax, and corporate tax.



<Reporter> The



government has decided to revise the tax base, which is the standard for deducting tax from employee salaries, for the first time in 15 years.



The government has accepted the criticism that the salary increases but the standard remains the same, only paying more taxes.

Expanded the taxable section for the low-income class, which has the lowest tax rate at 6%, to 14 million won.



If you receive an annual salary of 30 million won or less and exclude national pension, health insurance, and various deductions, this section is applicable.



The section where 15% is deducted on top of that will also be raised to 50 million won from the current 46 million won.



I commissioned the Korea Economic Research Institute to find out how much tax I would pay if a new tax rate was applied.



Currently, for single-person households with an average annual income of 25 million won, the annual income tax has been reduced from 335,000 won to 328,000 won.



This means that you will receive about 7,000 won in benefits.



The higher the annual salary, the greater the tax cut, so an annual salary of 50 million won is 180,000 won, and from 78 million won, the maximum limit of 540,000 won is lower.
