By July 2026, national tax revenue totaled 274 trillion won, an increase of 41 trillion won compared to the same period last year. This is due to increases in value-added tax, income tax, and securities transaction tax. In particular, the securities transaction tax increased by 401% due to the increase in trading volume and the effect of tax rate reduction. Income tax also increased by 12 trillion won due to an increase in total salary payments and an increase in the number of housing transactions. The progress rate of national tax revenue against this year's budget is 66% as of July, the highest in the past five years.
