00:09THE RULING PARTY WANTS TO LIFT A PROPERTY TAX DEDUCTION FOR SOME SINGLE HOMEOWNERS.
00:15THAT COULD CUT BILLS IN GANGNAM, SEOUL'S PRICIEST DISTRICT.
00:18AND IT RUNS AGAINST THE LOGIC OF KOREA'S CAPITAL GAINS RULES.
00:22IT'S TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10.
00:24LET'S GET INTO ONE OF KOREA'S TOP ECONOMIC STORIES TODAY.
00:27KOREA'S COMPREHENSIVE REAL ESTATE TAX HITS OWNERS OF HIGH VALUE HOMES.
00:33THE RULING PARTY AND GOVERNMENT ARE REVIEWING A HIGHER BASIC DEDUCTION FOR SINGLE HOMEOWNERS
00:38WHO DON'T LIVE IN THE HOME.
00:40THE PLAN HAS SPLIT POLICYMAKERS.
00:43HERE'S WHAT THE NUMBERS SHOW.
00:441.4 BILLION WON, ABOUT $1.04 MILLION WOULD BE THE NEW BASIC DEDUCTION, UP FROM 1.2 BILLION
00:53WON.
00:54THAT 200 MILLION WON, ROUGHLY $148,000 WOULD LOWER TAX BILLS FOR ABOUT 28,000 GANGNAM HOUSEHOLDS.
01:03THE CURRENT TAX BURDEN CAP STANDS AT 150%.
01:08CAPITAL GAINS TAX REWARDS OWNERS WHO ACTUALLY LIVE IN THEIR HOMES.
01:12SEPARATELY, THE GOVERNMENT IS CONSIDERING CUTTING CONSTRUCTION SAFETY FINES FROM 3% OF REVENUE
01:18TO 1% TO 2%.
01:20SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR READERS TRACKING KOREA'S ECONOMY?

01:29KOREA MAY REWARD NON-RESIDENT OWNERS IN ONE TAX WHILE PENALIZING THEM IN ANOTHER.
01:35THAT INCONSISTENCY MAKES HOUSING POLICY HARDER TO PREDICT.
01:39WHETHER THE DEDUCTION BILL KEEPS THE NON-RESIDENT CLAWS, HOW THE GOVERNMENT RECONCILES PROPERTY AND CAPITAL
01:45GAINS TAX, THE FINAL RATE IN THE CONSTRUCTION PENALTY REVISION.
