The government is considering a plan to provide the third disaster support fund to the underprivileged, such as temporary and daily workers.
It is not immediately possible to expand tax support for’good landlords’, but it also revealed that it is seeking countermeasures from a mid- to long-term perspective.
Kim Yong-beom, the first vice minister of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, held a regular briefing at the Emergency Economy Central Countermeasure Headquarters and New Deal-related ministers’ meeting at the government building in Seoul on the 23rd.
In the process of questioning and answering, Vice Minister Kim said, “The biggest focus of customized damage measures (which the government is preparing) is to provide substantial support and prompt execution. We are looking into ways to benefit.”
The customized damage subsidy of KRW 3 trillion reflected in the next year’s budget is basically for small business owners.
Vice Minister Kim’s remarks are interpreted to be promoting support for the underprivileged, such as temporary and daily workers, in addition to small business owners.
Vice Minister Kim added, “We are preparing to confirm (customized damage support measures) within this year and implement them in January.”
In addition, he said, “We are not considering (currently) policies that take a long time, such as expanding tax credits (for good landlords) or preparing additional budget plans.”
However, Vice Minister Kim said, “We are carefully reviewing the extent to which the government’s rent support measures are effective in the field.” We can examine the need for supplementation in the future as a way of doing things.”
The government is implementing a’good landlord’ system in which 50% of the reduced rent is deducted from the renter who reduced the rent.
In politics, it is argued that the tax credit rate should be increased to 70-100% in order to increase’good landlords’.
Deputy Minister Kim diagnosed with the current economic situation, “Although the official indicator has not been announced, it is highly likely that the trend of economic improvement that has emerged since the third quarter will be substantially restricted by this third re-proliferation.”
