부동산 세제 개편안 다음달 초 확정..'똘똘한 한 채' 노린다 / 친절한 경제 / SBS 모닝와이드 2부

Anchor We have reporter Han Ji-yeon here for Monday’s "Friendly Economy." Reporter Han, it looks like the real estate tax reform plan will be released soon, doesn't it? Reporter It seems likely to be released early next month. Looking at the details, it appears that taxes will be levied based on home prices rather than the number of properties owned. Currently, owning one house worth 3 billion won might result in lower taxes than owning three houses worth 1 billion won each, but the plan is to address this issue. Under the current Comprehensive Real Estate Tax (Jongbu Tax), the tax rate varies depending on the number of properties owned. The rate ranges from 0.5% to 2.7% for up to two houses, and increases from 0.5% to 5% for three or more houses. This system was created to collect more taxes from multi-home owners. However, while the tax base is calculated by summing the value of all owned properties, the tax rates are applied separately based on whether the owner possesses two or fewer homes or three or more. Consequently, a reversal occurs where those owning three or more homes end up paying more taxes, even if the total value is the same. In fact, looking at people whose total home values ​​ranged from 3 billion to 5 billion won last year, those owning three or more homes paid approximately 42 million won more per person than single-home owners. Therefore, there have been continuous criticisms regarding the lack of equity. The government is also reviewing this direction, so it is highly likely that going forward, taxes will become similar regardless of the number of homes owned, provided the home values ​​are similar. 〈Anchor〉 What other proposals are being considered? 〈Reporter〉 Currently, taxes are levied on everyone who exceeds the basic deduction. Going forward, the government is considering a plan to differentiate taxes into three groups—medium-burden and ultra-high-value—based on these thresholds. Currently, single-home owners receive a deduction of up to 1.2 billion won, and multi-home owners up to 900 million won; everything above that level is subject to taxation. However, what the government is considering is dividing the area above this deduction threshold into two groups. Homes situated between the basic deduction threshold and the ultra-high-priced threshold—that is, homes in the middle range—would maintain current tax levels or pay only slightly more. Once the value rises above the ultra-high-priced threshold, the plan is to either divide the tax base brackets more finely or raise the tax rates themselves. The ultra-high-priced threshold is being strongly discussed as being between 3 billion and 5 billion won in market value. These figures were introduced as potential criteria for consideration by Lee Hyung-il, the First Vice Minister of Finance and Economy, at a forum held on the 23rd. President Lee Jae-myung has also stated that he intends to move in the same direction, easing the burden on homes for actual residents, working-class people, and the middle class, while gradually imposing a greater burden on luxury homes, multi-home ownership, and speculative holdings. So, it can be said that this reform is ultimately targeting ultra-high-priced "single, high-value properties." 〈Anchor〉 The stance of raising property taxes on high-priced homes seems clear. #ComprehensiveRealEstateTax #Apartment #RealEstate Copyright Ⓒ SBS.
