Assemblyman Choi Seung-jae: "United Party's 'Bill No. 1' Must Be Passed Quickly for Small Business Owners"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Choi Seung-jae, a member of the Future United Party, urged on the 1st that the package of livelihood bills submitted as the Future United Party's 'No. 1 party bill' in the 21st National Assembly should be passed promptly.

Rep. Choi said, "Since the Future United Party's No. 1 party bill cannot be a point of contention between the ruling and opposition parties, I urge its swift passage to support small business owners struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) crisis."

In particular, among the eight package bills, he emphasized that the 'Partial Amendment to the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act,' which expands infectious disease loss compensation previously limited to medical institutions to include small business owners, and the 'Partial Amendment to the Restriction of Special Taxation Act,' which significantly reduces value-added tax for small individual business owners to the level of simplified taxpayers, are urgent issues for supporting small business owners.

Rep. Choi said, "Small business owners are in a very difficult situation due to the COVID-19 crisis," adding, "Since there is no distinction between ruling and opposition parties on small business owner issues, I hope the bills will be passed in the plenary session as soon as possible through consensus."
