The presidential candidates pose before their first joint TV debate at broadcaster KBS' studio on Yeouido, Seoul, Feb. 3. Joint Press Corps
The presidential candidates pose before their first joint TV debate at broadcaster KBS' studio on Yeouido, Seoul, Feb. 3. Joint Press Corps

By Lee Kyung-min

The government's plan to impose at least 20 percent tax on gains of at least 50 million won ($41,680) from stock trading starting in 2023 is emerging as a key election issue, in the latest of an economic policy becoming politicized due to public sentiment swinging widely.
최근 여론이 크게 흔들리며 경제 정책이 정치화되는 와중에 2023년부터 연간 5000만원(4만 1680달러) 이상의 주식 거래 차익에 대해 정부가 최소 20%의 세금을 부과한다는 계획이 최근 대선의 핵심 이슈로 떠오르고 있다.


Whether the plan will undergo a politically motivated revision remains to be seen, as illustrated in the previous failure of a similar taxation effort by the finance ministry to tighten rules over the definition of "large shareholders" to holders of stocks of over 300 million won, down from 1 billion won.
10억원 이상이었던 것이 줄어 3억원 이상의 주식 보유자인 ‘대주주'의 정의에 대한 규정을 강화하려는 재정부의 유사한 과세 노력의 이전 실패 사례에서 볼 수 있듯 이번 계획이 정치적 동기로 수정을 겪을지의 여부는 두고 볼 일이다.


Main opposition presidential contender Yoon Suk-yeol said during a nationally televised debate, Feb. 3, that the plan should be abolished, in a major change of stance from his presidential pledge announced Dec. 27, when he said the plan should proceed as scheduled, whereas only the stock trading tax should be abolished.
주요 야당 대선 후보 윤석열은 계획이 예정대로 진행되어야 한다고 말했던 12월 27일 대선 공약에서 중대하게 입장을 바꿔 지난 3일 전국 TV토론에서 이 계획은 폐지해야 하는 한편 주식 거래세만 폐지되어야 한다고 말했다.


Ruling party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung criticized his conservative counterpart for flip-flopping, stressing the plan is needed to hold "the rich" to account for hefty capital gains in the financial market, where small retail investors almost always lose against the larger overseas and institutional investors.
여당의 이재명 대통령 후보는 보수적 성향의 상대 후보의 표변을 비판하며 소액 개인 투자자들이 해외 대기업 및 기관 투자자에 거의 패하는 금융 시장에서 막대한 자본 이득을 챙기는 "부자들"에게 책임을 묻기 위해 이 방안이 필요하다고 강조했다.


Currently, a capital gains tax is imposed on gains from stock trading of non-listed firms. It is also imposed for holders of 1 billion won or more worth of a single stock item, 1 percent or more of stocks listed on the benchmark KOSPI or 2 percent or more of stocks listed on the tech-heavy Kosdaq.
현재 비상장기업의 주식매매 차익에 대해 양도소득세가 부과된다. 단일 종목 10억원 이상 보유자, 코스피지수 1% 이상, 기술주 위주의 코스닥 2% 이상에도 부과된다.


KEY WORDS
■ capital gains tax 양도소득세
■ undergo 겪다
■ contender 도전자, 경쟁자
■ abolish 폐지하다
■ pledge 약속, 맹세
■ flip-flop 태도가 표변하다
