Cheong Wa Dae Weighs Tax Reform Direction through Party-Government Consultations

Regarding the direction for modifying the tax reform plan, Cheong Wa Dae stated, "To enhance policy completion and public acceptance, we are closely examining various public opinions and the results of party-government consultations."

A Cheong Wa Dae official made the remarks today (the 24th) in response to a consensus formed between the Democratic Party of Korea and the government to revise parts of the tax reform plan, such as "expanding the scope of recognizing actual residence for non-resident single-home owners."

Senior Presidential Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung also explained in a briefing today, "We are in a situation where we are confirming what stance the party holds and what requests the party is making during the party-government-presidential consultation process."

However, Senior Spokesperson Kang added, "Internal discussions or a report to the President have not yet taken place."

Meanwhile, regarding the drop in President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating to its lowest level since taking office, as shown in a Realmeter poll released today, Senior Spokesperson Kang stated, "We will place the lives of the people as our top national governance priority and carefully examine overall state affairs," adding, "We will do our best to produce tangible results so that changes can be felt in the fields of people's livelihoods and the economy."

Earlier, Realmeter announced that in a survey commissioned by Energy Economy News of 2,026 voters aged 18 and older nationwide from the 18th to the 21st, positive evaluations of President Lee's state administration stood at 40.2%, down 2.2 percentage points from the previous week.

The sampling error for this survey was ±2.2 percentage points at a 95% confidence level, with a response rate of 3.2%.
