“Rolling two super cars and buying a building, etc.”… Gifted property increased by 35 trillion in 5 years.

# In his early 30s, Mr. A was given stock from his parents and became a representative at a young age. Afterwards, Mr. A created a ghost company in the name of an employee, obtained a tax invoice by paying false advertising expenses, and leaked the money in the company as if he had paid labor expenses to relatives. With this stolen money, he acquired 7 billion won housing in Seoul, and bought shopping malls and golf membership in a pile. Two supercars worth 900 million won were also rolled, and the expense of purchasing luxury luxury goods was largely covered by company expenses.

#B bought a little building with a market price of 3 billion won under a joint name with a child in her twenties. Afterwards, he remodeled it with his own money, raised the price of the building, and handed it over to his children. Mr. B is currently on the list of targets for tax audit on suspicion of giving illegally.

In fact, it was revealed that the number of gifted assets has increased rapidly in the past five years, with suspected tax evasion suspects such as Young & Rich, a young asset who has been dubbed a huge amount of money through expedient gifting.

As a result of analyzing the data on the’Status of inheritance and donation’ quorums from 2015 to 2019, which Congressman Yang Gyeong-sook requested to the National Tax Service, the size of the gifted property increased from 39,355 billion won to 74 trillion 94.7 billion won from 2015. On the other hand, in the same period, inherited property decreased from 40 trillion 649.2 billion won to 38,871 billion won.

Taxable inheritance and gifted assets increased by 20 trillion 961 billion won from 2015 to 45,874.9 billion won in 2019.

Separately, taxable inherited property increased by 6.30 trillion won to 16,483.6 billion won in 2019 from 10,185.3 billion won in 2015, and taxable gifted property increased from 14,729.5 billion won in 2015 to 29,391.3 billion won in 2019. Trillion 6618 billion won increase

This increase can be interpreted as the fact that the property was donated in advance as the tax deduction rate for inheritance and gift tax was gradually reduced from 7% in 2017 to 5% in 2018 and 3% in 2019.

The tax deduction rate for inheritance and gift declarations was 10% until 2016, but the National Assembly and the government at that time decided to gradually lower the deduction rate based on the increased induction of taxpayers’ fidelity reporting benefits and taxation data collection, saying that the deduction rate was higher than that of major overseas countries. .

In addition, the fact that it is difficult for children to purchase houses on their own due to the strengthening of regulations on multi-household real estate and rising house prices is cited as the cause of the increase in gifted property. Assemblyman Yang explained that the proportion of buildings among the gifted property increased from 5.82 trillion won in 2017 to 8,141.3 billion won in 2019 compared to other properties.

Rep. Yang Gyeong-suk said, “Last year, the number of national home donations was 15,2427, an increase of 37.5%, an increase of 41,580 from the previous year, and there is great concern about expedient donations such as avoidance of comprehensive real estate tax and burden donation aimed at one-house tax benefit. “In a situation where asset income rises higher than earned income, the expedient gift investigation should be further strengthened,” he stressed.
