President Lee Jae-myung, warning about management loans for home purchases... announces tax investigation

President Lee Jae-myung issued a serious warning about purchasing homes through personal business loans and urged individuals to repay their loans proactively. This move aims to alert about the illegal diversion of loan funds and conveys that repaying early before suspected fraud or tax investigations is a wiser choice.

The president expressed concern over the recent surge in cases of buying homes with commercial loans and announced that the National Tax Service plans to investigate all related cases. This is interpreted as a warning that the government will actively intervene against attempts to evade loan regulations for investment gains.

On the 17th of this month, the president emphasized that the Financial Supervisory Service and the National Tax Service can initiate criminal charges and recover loans through joint investigations. He reminded that such actions could ultimately lead to significant economic losses and called on the public to exercise restraint.

This statement is seen as part of the government’s efforts to curb speculative demand in the real estate market and improve market transparency. Economic experts expect these measures to have a positive impact on market stability and suggest that further changes may occur as government loan and real estate policies evolve.
