South Korea expects to collect at least 500 trillion won, equivalent to US$332 billion, in taxes in 2027, Budget Minister Park Hong-keun said on July 13. Yonhap reported that the projection exceeds the prior government estimate of 412 trillion won. Park made the statement during a meeting at the presidential office.
The government intends to create a future response fund from excess tax revenue above long-term trends. Park said the fund will support investment in the younger generation, growth engines, regional economies and talent, while serving as a financial safety net if revenue falls short or a supplementary budget is needed.
Next year's spending is set at around 800 trillion won, a 10 percent rise from this year.
Park stated that fiscal balance and government debt are expected to improve starting in 2027.
