[경제]Lee Kun-hee stock inheritance tax 11 trillion’the largest ever’…how to pay the astronomical amount

[앵커]

The inheritance tax on the stock holdings of the late Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee was confirmed to be at a record high of 11 trillion won.

If you add real estate to this, the inheritance tax will increase further, and interest is drawing on how the bereaved family, including Samsung Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong, pay the astronomical inheritance tax.

This is reporter Lee Ji-eun.

The inheritance tax on shares owned by Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee has been confirmed to be 11 trillion won.

It is the largest in history, about 12 times that of LG Group’s 920 billion won, which was the number one inheritance tax so far.

Stock inheritance tax is calculated as the average of the closing prices for two months before and after the date of death.

At the time of Chairman Lee’s death, the estimated inheritance tax was around 10 trillion won, but the recent rise in stock prices also increased the inheritance tax.

In addition, the inheritance tax is expected to increase further if real estate such as home in Hannam-dong in Seoul and Everland in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do are combined.

As it is impossible to pay an astronomical amount at once, the Samsung family is expected to choose the’annuity payment’ method that divides the inheritance tax for up to five years.

In order to raise the financial resources, the method of increasing the dividend of affiliates is the most influential.

However, considering that the dividend received by the Samsung family during the six years since Chairman Lee Kun-hee’s fall is 2.8 trillion won, the inheritance tax cannot be covered by expanding dividends alone.

Therefore, the possibility of selling the stake is discussed as long as it does not interfere with the maintenance of management rights.

The Samsung family is required to file and pay the inheritance tax by April next year.
