[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Kim Du-kwan, a presidential candidate from the Democratic Party of Korea, argued on the 27th that tax benefits for housing rental business operators should be abolished to normalize housing prices.


On the same day, Kim held a press conference at the National Assembly urging the abolition of tax benefits for housing rental business operators and the strengthening of property taxes. Kim stated, "The abolition of preferential treatment for rental business operators, which poses serious problems not only in terms of the impact on the real estate market but also from the perspective of institutional fair taxation, is the first step toward normalizing real estate," emphasizing the normalization of housing prices.
