Reviewing the benefits of 1 home for temporary 2 homeowners... Elderly person deferral and retention tax freeze (comprehensive)

Government "Corresponds to unavoidable reasons such as moving and inheritance"... Legislative measures such as amendment of laws are required

(Sejong = Yonhap News) Reporter Kwak Min-seo and Kim Da-hye = The government has decided to review a plan to give temporary two-homeowners the same tax benefits as one-generation, one-homeowners.

In this case, the ownership tax burden for temporary second-homeowners will also be frozen at the same level as last year, and senior citizens who meet the conditions will be able to defer payment of comprehensive real estate tax (special property tax) until the house is sold or inherited.

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance issued a press release on the 11th and said, "We will actively review measures to grant the same benefits to first-generation, single-homeowners to temporary second-homeowners due to unavoidable reasons such as moving or inheritance."

However, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance added, "Giving one-family-one housing benefits to temporary two-family homeowners is an amendment to the law, and additional legislative measures are needed."

Previously, the government announced a plan to lower the tax burden by applying the published price of 2021 when a first-generation single-family homeowner pays property tax and estate tax this year, and introducing a deferred payment for the elderly.

If temporary two-homeowners receive the benefits of one house per household, they will also be able to pay taxes according to last year's published price. This means that the holding tax burden will be frozen at the same level as a year ago.

In addition, if you are an elderly person who meets conditions such as age and income, the tax payment will be deferred until the time you transfer, inherit, or donate a house.

In addition, one household, one homeowner receives various tax benefits.

In the case of a single householder, the basic tax deduction amount is 1.1 billion won based on the published price, which is higher than the general (600 million won) deduction amount.

In addition, a married couple can own a house under their joint name and receive a deduction of 1.2 billion won each for 600 million won each, or they can choose the more advantageous method of paying the tax for the elderly and long-term possession.

If the legislation is completed, temporary two-homeowners will also be able to enjoy these benefits.

The Ministry of Strategy and Finance emphasized, "We plan to review such measures as an extension of the consistent policy principle of protecting end-users."
