Tax investigation, economic conditions, 'year-old scale'...Expanded appraisal of ultra-high-priced real estate

In consideration of economic conditions, the National Tax Service has decided to maintain the scale of this year's tax audit at the previous year's level and expand appraisal of ultra-high-priced real estate.

The National Tax Service held a meeting of heads of tax offices nationwide at the Sejong 2nd Government Complex today and announced plans to operate the national tax administration this year.

Under the policy that the tax audit will be operated flexibly and efficiently in consideration of internal and external conditions, the number of investigations will be maintained at 14,000 cases, which is the level of previous years.Residential real estate such as ultra-high-priced apartments, which were difficult to grasp the market price due to the small volume of

, will be subject to inheritance and gift taxes that match the actual value through appraisal.

Kang Min-soo, the head of the National Tax Service, said, "In addition to the tax authorities' appraisal, the taxpayer's voluntary appraisal in advance will have the effect of increasing tax revenue by more than 1 trillion won."

The National Tax Service said it will extend the period of cleaning support for taxpayers who temporarily suffer from financial difficulties due to disasters and expand the automatic application system for incentives from the elderly to all ages.
