THE ASAN PUBLIC OPINION BRIEF
Tax Reform
AWARENESS OF CURRENT TAX REFORM BILL
August 12-14
How aware are you of the current tax reform bill?
(%)
On August 8th, the government announced the 2013 Tax Reform Bill. Most Koreans were aware of the bill, with 81% stating as such. This widespread awareness is likely due to the controversy surrounding the bill which many saw as tax hikes for the middle class. The difference in awareness by generation is worth nothing. While 87% of those in their thirties to fifties were aware of the bill, 71.4% of those in their twenties and 69.8% of those in their sixties stated the same.
METHODOLOGY
- The sample size of each survey was 1,000 respondents over the age of 19.
- The surveys were conducted by Research & Research, and the margin of error is ±3.1% at the 95% confidence level.
- All surveys employed the Random Digit Dialing method for mobile and landline telephones.
