People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon said, “Public opinion on the financial investment income tax targeting ordinary citizens has completely reversed,” and asked the Democratic Party of Korea to “listen to the voices from the field.”
Representative Han stated this on his Facebook page on the afternoon of the 23rd, saying, “A public opinion poll of the general public showed that 57.4% of people are in favor of abolishing or postponing the implementation of the financial investment income tax.”
According to a survey conducted by Realmeter on 1,001 men and women aged 18 or older nationwide at the request of the Korea Stockholders Association, 34% of respondents said that the gold investment tax should be abolished, while 23.4% said that it should be postponed. Six out of ten people are against its implementation at least next year.
A representative said, “Among those with investment experience, close to 70% of respondents were negative about the introduction of the gold investment tax,” and pointed out, “In a survey conducted by another organization in July, 23.9% were in favor of abolition, 19.3% were in favor of deferral, and 34.6% were in favor of introduction. However, the results show that the abolition and introduction have reversed in just one month.”
He continued, “As the date of enforcement approaches, public opinion against implementing the gold investment tax is growing stronger,” and emphasized, “In particular, those with a keen interest in the stock market or experienced investors are calling for the abolition of the gold investment tax even more strongly.”
He said of the Democratic Party of Korea, which is advocating the implementation of a gold investment tax, “You cannot distinguish between common sense and public opinion with the outdated framework of a 1 vs. 99 split,” and asked, “How can you split people when 99 are against it?”
This survey was conducted over two days from the 21st to the 22nd, with 1,001 men and women aged 18 and over nationwide completing the response, resulting in a response rate of 1.7%. Statistical corrections were made by weighting by gender, age group, and region based on the resident registration population statistics of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety as of the end of July 2024, and the sampling error is ±3.1% points at a 95% confidence level.
