Seocho-gu ‘single fulfillment’

Seocho-gu, Seoul, has established a land ordinance that can reduce property tax by 50% for households owning a home of $ 900 million or less based on standard market value. Seocho-gu promotes a refund within the year by receiving data for a household and a house from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, or by directly receiving a resident application.

On the 25th, Seocho-gu said: “The partial amendment of the Seoul Metropolitan City Seocho-gu Salvation Ordinance ‘to reduce the property tax burden for a home and owner has passed a council plenary session district “. He said.

From the property tax, 50% of the city’s participation is subtracted and only the property tax of the remaining autonomous districts is reimbursed. Seocho-gu estimated that 50.3% (69,145 units) of the homes in the jurisdiction amounted to less than 900 million won, and the property tax refund amount reached 6.3 billion won. The individual amount per household ranges from a minimum of 10,000 won to a maximum of 450,000 won, which is around 100,000 won on average.

The task is to identify a home and an owner. Seocho-gu said, “Currently, the local government cannot verify the number of one household per household.” “Since the National Tax Service must impose a comprehensive property tax, we will formally request the data of a home and a house provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation.”

“If the government does not provide the data, Seocho-gu also considers how to directly receive a request from taxpayers for a home, a house.” did.

The property tax reduction bill affirmed by Seocho-gu was rejected last month at the Seoul City Mayor’s Council, a meeting of 25 chief mayors, with 21 opposition (agreement), 3 opinions retention and 1 affirmative (agree).

The mayor’s office said it is difficult to form a consensus among people that it is a plan to support only certain crisis-situation neighbors of Corona 19 when Seocho-gu announced his policy of ‘exclusive promotion’ immediately after the rejection. Results are expected to decline significantly in autonomous districts where conditions are poor and property values ​​are lower. “

In Seocho-gu, the total amount of property tax collected this year is approximately 370 billion won, so the portion of the 6.3 billion won autonomous district reductions and exemptions is a small percentage. But in other self-governing districts, the reduction from the total amount of 55.2 billion won is 8 billion won.

Seocho-gu said on the day that “this year, the publicly announced price of apartment houses is in consideration of the fact that the economy is stagnant due to the Corona 19 disaster, and the property tax increase rate is more higher than any year due to government price adjustment. 22.5% on the rise, and the property tax payment for housing has risen by 72% in the last three years, making it a tax bomb for a home, a landlord, and unrelated middle-class individuals with speculation.

Seocho-gu Mayor Cho Eun-hee said, “I am sorry that the amount to receive this benefit is too small, with a maximum of 450,000 won. She said: “We did our best with the mayor of the district within the limits of the law,” she said. “As Seocho-gu’s attempts are welcome, we hope to join other autonomous districts.”
