ruling and opposition parties tentatively agreed to increase the basic deduction for comprehensive real estate tax for one household and one low-cost multi-housing household.
[Kim Seong-hwan/Chairman of the Democratic Party Policy Committee: The standard for comprehensive real estate tax per household is 1.1 billion won to 1.2 billion won, and (the ruling and opposition parties) agreed to move from 600 million won to 900 million won for low-cost multi-housing.]
The tax standard for comprehensive real estate tax is high As a result, the number of people subject to comprehensive real estate tax, which reached 1.23 million this year, is expected to decrease to about 666,000 people next year, about half.
In addition, the ruling and opposition parties agreed to apply a basic tax rate of 3%, rather than a heavy tax rate of up to 6%, for owners of two houses in areas subject to adjustment, such as Seoul.
In other words, the opposition party accepted the government's proposal to raise the basic tax deduction for comprehensive real estate tax.
However, the ruling and opposition parties were unable to reach a final conclusion as they differed in lowering the progressive taxation for owners of three or more houses.
In addition, there is a large difference of opinion in other bills accompanying the budget, such as financial investment income tax and stock transfer income tax, so the final decision on raising the tax standard for comprehensive real estate tax is expected to be decided in negotiations between the representatives of the floor.
