I used to think inheritance tax was simply a fair tax imposed to prevent the unjust transfer of wealth. This book introduced me to the new perspective that it can hinder our country’s economic development. It compares Korea’s tax system with those of other countries and raises questions that helped me think more deeply about our current system. The title made the subject seem difficult and unfamiliar, but the explanations are easy to follow, so I made good progress. I’m just beginning to study
Seo Chae-jong: Abolish the inheritance tax
A systematic, comprehensive case for abolishing the inheritance tax. Inheritance tax has become a hot issue in recent discussions of the Korea discount and measures to improve corporate value. The book focuses on showing that inheritance tax is both an unjust tax and a foolish one. It also explains why inheritance tax is a leading cause of the Korea discount and why effective policies to improve corporate value are impossible without abolishing it. The author emphasizes that the real alternative is to abolish the inheritance tax system entirely, not merely lower its rates.
