Comprehensive real estate taxes needs to be improved so that it performs its intended functions by realizing fair taxation and stabilizing the price of real estate, and ultimately attains social justice in Korea. This study analyzed the current state of comprehensive real estate taxes through a questionnaire survey, and the results are summarized as follows. First, in the analysis of people's perception on the adequacy of the tax rate of comprehensive real estate taxes, those who owned a house worthy of 600 million won or a higher value as an object of real estate tax perceived the adequacy of the tax rate more negatively than those who owned a house of less than 600 million won. The same result was observed for comprehensive real estate taxes on lands. Second, in the analysis of the contribution of comprehensive real estate taxes to the accomplishment of policies, the respondents showed a high frequency of positive replies to some of policies related to comprehensive real estate taxes.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the revenue function of the personal income tax of Korea. Unlike the traditional approach employing the data adjustment, this paper explicitly includes the explanatory variables of the tax rate or schedule in the revenue function and further estimates the functions by income sources such as labor, interest, global, and dividend incomes. One of the main findings is the GNP elasticity of the combined personal income tax is around 1.2 when evaluated on the basis of the estimates of the GNP elasticities of tax revenue from respective income sources, which is somewhat smaller than those in the previous studies. Another interesting result is that the GNP and interest rate elasticities of the interest income, are found around one and .15 respectively, as expected. Also, the estimate of the tax-free income coefficient is significantly negative in the labor income tax revenue function.

This paper examines two different reunification regimes and investigates the decision making problems on tax and income transfers in a political economy model. The first reunification regime is the South-Driven regime under which the majority of South Korea choose the tax rate, the amount of transfers and the size of migration. The second is the North-Participation regime under which there is no limit on migration and the majority of Unified Korea choose the tax rate and the amount of transfers. In both regimes, Northern residents' migration decisions are endogenous and those who decide not to migrate to the Southern region have an alternative to declare fiscal independence of income redistribution taking place within the North independently. This paper shows that there is no income redistribution in a politico-economic equilibrium under the South-Driven regime. Given that, those remaining in the Northern region decide to declare fiscal independence. On the other hand, the North-Participation regime delivers an equilibrium supporting income redistribution and no fiscal independence.

This study examined the impacts of tariff reductions on timber products in the new round of WTO negotiations on domestic timber products markets and presented the measures to minimize their impacts. Scenarios on reductions in tariffs were developed based on result of UR negotiation and prospective issues on scope of tariffs bound, base rates for negotiation, degree of tariff cuts, etc. emerged during preparatory meetings held to launch the New Round of WTO Negotiation. Korea Timber Market Model(KORTIMM) developed by Korea Forest Research Institute was used to simulate the impacts on forest products markets by scenario. It was estimated that their impacts on net imports would be much larger than those on both consumption and production. The results showed that their impacts on plywood market and on net imports of processed forest products would be much larger relatively but that their impacts on log market and on consumption and production of processed forest products would be less than 1 percent. It was estimated that log consumption would be reduced due to reduction in domestic production of processed products and thus both production and imports of logs would be reduced as well. In oder to minimize the impacts, efforts should be made to start negotiations to reduce tariffs with bound rates for bounded products and with applied rates for non-bounded products, to expand the implementation period and to maintain the status of developing country. In addition, it might be one of countermeasures to use legitimate measures consistent with WTO rules such as anti-dumping, countervailing measures and safeguards.

The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the rate schedule of the Korean income tax system embodies the theoretically desirable distribution of the tax burden by income classes. The paper follows the approach of Young (1990) who has estimated the utility function and calculated the magnitude of sacrifice, i.e., the tax burden. The main point of the study is to estimate the utility function. The estimation results may differ if different data sets are used. Therefore, this paper employs the effective as well as the nominal tax rate schedule. The findings derived in this paper are 1) that the effective rate schedule is more appropriate in estimating the utility function; 2) that the middle class has born the relatively heavier burden over time; 3) that the current income tax credit scheme curtails the tax burden on the middle class while intensifying the tax burden of the lower and upper income classes; 4) that reducing the amount of deduction moves the distribution of tax burdens by income classes closer to the theoretically desirable model; 5) that the rate schedule of the Korean income tax system, particularly in 1991, did not conform to the desired model as did the tax systems of developed countries such as the United States, Italy, Japan, and Germany.

This study has undertaken for the analysis of the level of recognition on the Transfer Income Tax. The statistical analysis through the questionnaire is made to find out the issues on the equitableness of Transfer Income Tax first with the level of equitableness of the Transfer Income Tax structure and appropriateness of the degree of different tax rate applied under the Transfer Income Tax, level of equitableness of the Transfer Income Tax structure and intent for avoidance of payment under the present tax policies, level of recognition for administrative disposition on those avoiding diligent payment of taxes, and it analyzed the relationship between the levels of understanding of the structure of the Transfer Income Tax and the level of complexity of the structure of the Transfer Income Tax in order to analyze if it has negative impact on the level of understanding for the structure of the Transfer Income Tax. On the basis of the above analysis result, as the improvement plan on the Transfer Income Tax system, following has been presented; enhancement of equitableness of tax rate structure under the Transfer Income Tax for improving the equitableness of tax burden, establishment of regulations to strengthen the appropriate tax investigation for prevention of diligent tax payment avoidance, relaxation of complication of the structure under the Transfer Income Tax.

한, 칠 FTA에서는 원산지가 칠레 또는 우리나라로 인정되는 물품에 대해서만 FTA특혜관세가 적용된다. 즉, 원산지의 인정범위에 따라 적용세율이 달라지므로 원산지규정은 특혜관세의 적용과 우회수입 여부를 판단하는데 핵심적인 과세 요건중의 하나라고 할 수 있다.<중략>

Central government moves welfare, education, and public fire service that need a lot of budget to local governments. But, central government don't give a enough finance support to local governments to implement those services. Therefore, local government suffer from the financial pressure. Fire service is supplied by province government in Korea. Public facilities tax is an object tax for fire service in province government. But, since total revenue of public facilities tax is just about 30% of fire service budget, the financial pressure of local governments has been increasing and the fire services could not been improved comparing with the increasing demands for the services. The purpose of this article is to examine a stable tax system for fire service. To do so, this study analyzes the fire public service budget, finds out some problems, and compares with developed countries to solve these problems.

This paper examines the effect of redistributive inheritance tax on income distribution and social welfare. The model used here is the Overlapping-Generations Model consisting of individuals with different bequest motives where the lifetime income distribution in each cohort is determined endogeneously by the dynamic bequest process. It is shown that the introduction of redistributive inheritance tax can improve the vertical equity in the sense that the increase in tax rate reduces the coefficient of variations of intra-cohort income distribution in steady-state. However, it is also shown that, the effect on social welfare, when measured by Benthamite SWF, is uncertain in general. The numerical simulations show that, in spite of its equity-enhancing effect, the tax increase can actually lower the steady-state social welfare within the plausible range of parametric values, through the long-run output effect as well as the deadweight welfare loss incurred by tax distortion. Hence, the problem of equity-efficiency trade-off can arise in this case. However, if both the market interest rate and the elasticity of marginal utility in individual's preference function are sufficiently high, it is shown to be possible that the steady-state social welfare is enhanced by the introduction of inheritance tax.
