[경제]The ruler and opposition parties criticized the ‘large shareholder based on 300 million won …’

[앵커]

Since April next year, controversy has grown over the government’s policy of imposing a capital gains tax on more than 300 million major shareholders.

Following individual investors, the ruling and opposition parties criticized the government with one voice in the audit of the state administration.

The government sticks to the ‘300 million won cap’ position, but voices that the current standard of 1 billion won should be maintained by 2022 are also overwhelming.

Reporter Oh In-seok about the report.

The Blue House petition against strengthening the capital gains tax for major shareholders exceeded 200,000 in the last month.

There was strong opposition from individual investors, saying it is a modern partnership system, and in the National Assembly audit, the government took a step back and said it would review the criteria for total family members individually.

[우원식 / 더불어민주당 의원 : 기업의 지배구조를 왜곡했던 재벌 일가에 들이댔던 잣대란 말이죠. 이것을 3억을 갖고 있는 세대에 들이대는 것은 참으로 적절치 않다.] [홍남기 / 부총리 겸 기획재정부 장관 : 저희가 세대합산을 인별 기준으로 전환하는 방안을 현재 검토 중에 있다는 말씀을 드립니다.]

However, the controversy has not easily subsided.

This time, ruling and opposition politicians were accused of expanding the standard for large shareholders to impose a transfer tax of 20-25% per item starting in April next year to 300 million won.

[고용진 / 더불어민주당 의원 : 대통령께서도 동학개미들을 격려하고 하는 정책을 펴면서 왜 그거와 반대되는 쪽으로 가느냐는 불만이 팽배해 있는 겁니다.] [추경호 / 국민의 힘 의원 : 기재부 의견은 참고로 하면 됩니다. 10억 두고, 개인으로 한정하는 그런 조항으로 여야 의원님들 뜻만 모으면 저는 가능하다. 이렇게 생각을 합니다.]

However, Hong Nam-ki, Deputy Prime Minister of the Economy, said it was not easy to correct fiscal fairness.

[홍남기 / 부총리 겸 기획재정부 장관 : (2년 전에 법을 바꿔서) 시행령에 3억 원으로 이미 반영이 돼서 예고돼 온 것을 다시 거꾸로 간다는 것이 제가 볼 때는 정책 일관성 측면에서도 그렇고 자산소득에 대한 과세 형평을 고려하면 쉽지 않은 결정이라고 생각하고요.]

In the market, it is noted that the imposition of KRW 300 million on large shareholders does not have a high effect of increasing tax revenue, but has a negative aspect of increasing market volatility.

[황세운 / 자본시장연구원 연구위원 : 2022년까지는 10억 원으로 유예하고, 2023년부터 전면적인 양도소득세 과세를 시작하는 것이 오히려 더 실익이 크다.]

Given that the government aims to induce liquidity in the market from the real estate sector to productive investment destinations, it should be noted whether an additional review of the transfer tax will be carried out.
