[경제]Based on the major shareholders of the share transfer tax, the current 1 billion won is maintained.

[앵커]

It has been concluded that the government will maintain the current standard for large shareholders in 1 billion won to determine whether the tax on capital gains is excessive or not.

Some point out that the reliability of the government’s policy cracked because they were concerned about the backlash from the so-called ‘Donghak ants’ and the year-end stock price drop.

In 2018, the government decided to drastically reduce the tax on equity capital gains and the standard of holdings from 1 billion won to 300 million won.

If you have more than 300 million won of shares in a share, you will be classified as a majority shareholder, and if you make a profit selling these shares, you will be assessed a transfer tax of 22% to 33%.

As the amount of deciding whether to be a majority shareholder will decrease to a third, the number of people who must pay taxes is expected to increase.

But right now, ahead of implementation early next year, public opinion is starting to grow.

In particular, the reaction of the so-called ‘Donghak ants’ that have supported our share price amid the coronavirus outbreak.

To avoid the standard of large shareholders, if the liquidation continues from the end of the year, it is obvious that the general price of the shares will fall and demanded the withdrawal of the policy and the resignation of Vice Premier Hong Nam-ki.

Even in the political world, both parties and opposition parties criticized the policy to strengthen the standard for large shareholders.

[우원식 / 더불어민주당 의원 (지난 10월) : 기업의 지배구조를 왜곡했던 재벌 일가에 들이댔던 잣대란 말이죠. 이것을 3억을 갖고 있는 세대에 들이대는 것은 참으로 적절치 않다.] [추경호 / 국민의힘 의원 (지난 10월) : 기재부 의견은 참고로 하면 됩니다. 10억 두고, 개인으로 한정하는 그런 조항으로 여야 의원님들 뜻만 모으면 저는 가능하다. 이렇게 생각을 합니다.]

In the midst of this, the government devised an alternative to convert the standard of large shareholders from the sum of all family shares to an individual basis, but the controversy did not cool down.

Vice Premier Hong Nam-ki insisted on the implementation of the revised bill, emphasizing policy coherence despite offensive public opinion and politics, but the standard for large shareholders was eventually set by maintaining current standards.

[홍남기 / 경제부총리 : 일단 현행처럼 10억을 유지하는 것으로 고위 당정청 회의에서 결정을 했다는 말씀드리고요. 물론 저는 바람직하지 않다고 해서 반대 의견을 제가 제시했습니다.]

As a result, the controversy over the stock transfer tax has ended, but the amendment, which had been announced two years ago, is annulled only a few months before its implementation, and it seems that the reliability of government policy will be inevitable. .
