[사설] 주식 과세, 금투세 도입·ISA 재설계로 정상화해야

The South Korean government is proposing to cut tax benefits for Individual Comprehensive Asset Management Accounts (ISA), prompting a full review of the product. Initially promoted as a tool to help build personal wealth, the benefits of this product are being reduced just six years after its introduction. The drastic change has upset investors, and it is time to reconsider the entire structure.

The government should reconsider the current system that only taxes stock capital gains, and introduce a financial investment income tax (financial investment tax) to normalize the current system. This new tax system would balance the existing incentives and ensure a fair distribution of resources.
