정부, 비거주 1주택 종부세 기본공제 ‘12억’ 복원 검토

The Ministry of Finance is currently conducting a review of the basic housing tax deduction for non-resident property owners, which is set to be restored to 12 billion won. This comes in response to the Dongbu Minju Party's strong demand for an increase in the basic housing tax deduction for non-resident property owners. The review is based on the opinions presented at the previous high-level consultation meeting held the day before, where the ministry proposed increasing the basic housing tax deduction for resident property owners from 12 billion won to 14 billion won, while reducing the deduction for non-resident property owners from 12 billion won to 9 billion won.

The government has also considered the possibility of restoring the basic housing tax deduction for non-resident property owners to the original level of 12 billion won. Critics argue that this could undermine the government's "residential principle" that has been emphasized since the implementation of the tax reform plan.
