Business Succession Deduction Expanded
Parliament: 'Regressive' Policy Concern
In short
The government plans to increase the inheritance tax deduction limit for family businesses from 60 billion won to 100 billion won.
Parliament pointed out that this benefit is unfairly concentrated on wealthy heirs.
It also noted that shifting childbirth support from tax deductions to cash payments creates budgetary concerns.

There is no direct tax change, but developments in inheritance and gift tax policies warrant monitoring.
