Land, Infrastructure and Transportation minister candidate Byeon Chang-heum said on the 21st that the tenure tax should be strengthened to block non-labor income from real estate.
Candidate Byun made such a statement in response to the staff hearing presented to the National Assembly that day, in response to Democratic Party Representative Park Sang-hyuk asking his position on measures to strengthen the property tax, including the property tax. comprehensive real estate.
Candidate Byun said: “In accordance with the principle of fair taxes, the higher the price, the more houses you have, the need to strengthen,” he said.
At the same time, he said: “I know that the tax rate for people with multiple dwellings has been strengthened through the measures of July 10.”
Regarding the claim that strengthening the property tax is a punitive tax, Candidate Byun said: “Since housing is an essential good for human life, social costs are inevitably higher when subjected to speculation, so I think regulation is necessary to eradicate speculative demand. ” I replied.
Candidate Byun added: “We have already provided the benefits of tax deductions and the capital gains tax deduction for a homeowner, and we will see if there are any deficiencies.”
Regarding the single family home tax easing measures recently claimed by some, the response was “I know that various tax burden reduction benefits are being provided to ease the property tax burden on ordinary people and real consumers. ”
He said, “In the case of taxes, a basic deduction of 300 million won is added for a home and owner, special deductions for seniors and long-term tenures are applied, and additional special deductions are increased (up to 70 % → 80%) and tax deductions for joint ownership of a couple are promoted. I know it will happen.
As for the ‘tax bomb theory’ that some people are raising against the tax increase, they claimed it is ‘inappropriate’.
He said: “The tax applies only to expensive houses or to some who own a large number of houses. To avoid a sudden increase in the tax burden, the ceiling of the tax burden is also in place.” He added, “Especially, for a homeowner, we deduct up to 900 million won, and the elderly and long-term property.” I don’t think the expression of the tax pump theory is appropriate because we are operating various tax cut benefits. , such as up to 70% tax reduction through deduction. ”
“ On the question of whether the transfer tax is a transaction tax or a tenure tax, it is sometimes recognized as a transaction tax because it occurs at the transaction stage, but I think it is a kind of income tax that is collected as earnings such as earned income and financial income are generated. ” Said.
When asked about the recent government announcement on the roadmap for realization, candidate Byun said: “Since the published price is the basis for fair taxation and the fairness of the welfare system, it is necessary to reflect the price appropriate market through rational valuation. ”
Regarding the strengthening of the transfer tax, candidate Byun assessed that “The strengthening of the high tax rate on the transfer of housing for speculative purposes, such as multi-owners and short-term owners, contributed to the realignment of the housing market focused on the end user, by increasing the proportion of homeless among buyers. ”
Candidate Byun said: “I believe this realization plan should be promoted smoothly as it was established through a public hearing, the Central Committee for Real Estate Price Disclosure and related ministries in accordance with the underlying laws and regulations. “. We discuss and review it with the relevant ministries, and we will continue to respond to the necessary problems through monitoring.
Regarding the claim that the property tax has skyrocketed due to the increased public price, “houses with a public price of 600 million won or less that can benefit from the property tax reduction represent 95 % of the total housing, and many citizens who own a house of average to low price can receive the effect of easing the tax burden. There it is. ”
He said: “Since the recent property tax rate reduction measures will apply for three years until 2023, it is necessary to thoroughly analyze the housing market situation and the effect of knowing published prices, and discuss future countermeasures. with the relevant ministries “.
