It turned out that 52% of individual comprehensive real estate tax taxpayers last year were 60 or older. Also, the top 10% of taxpayers paid 87% of the final comprehensive real estate tax amount.
According to the National Tax Service's National Tax Statistics Portal on the 7th, the final comprehensive real estate tax amount, including land and dwellings, was 4.8565 trillion won last year. Individual comprehensive real estate tax taxpayers numbered 548,177, and the final amount was 1.3195 trillion won.
Among individual taxpayers, 284,950 people were 60 or older, accounting for 52% of the total. Those in their 60s numbered 153,543, and those 70 or older were 131,407.
The comprehensive real estate tax paid by those 60 or older was 753 billion won, or 57.1% of the total individual comprehensive real estate tax. Analysts say this is because the assets of those 60 or older are concentrated more in real estate than in financial assets.
Also, the final amount for the top 10% of taxpayers was 4.242 trillion won, or 87.3%. This ratio fell from 2024 (88.2%) but remains high. Because the comprehensive real estate tax has a progressive tax rate structure, the tax burden on top taxpayers is relatively large.
Those in the top 10–20% paid 259.4 billion won last year, accounting for 5.3%. Next were ▲ the top 20–30% at 2.8%, ▲ 30–40% at 1.7%, and ▲ 40–50% at 1.1%.
