– Although the representative victim class caused by Corona 19 is known as small business owners, it has been confirmed that among the small business owners, a small number of small business owners enjoyed special benefits due to activation of delivery apps and online shopping. However, without consideration of such asymmetry, the ruling party is poised to push for the simultaneous payment of universal and selection by preparing large-scale disaster subsidies ahead of the by-election in April. Relieving the victims is legitimate, but enforcement of disaster subsidies that instigate financial deterioration without weighing the target and size of the victims is expected to lead to a post-storm.

According to the Small Business Market Promotion Corporation on the 7th, among the applicants for the’New Hope Fund’, the second disaster subsidy for small businesses organized last year, the number one reason for being notified of the decision not to be paid is the increase in sales compared to the previous year. The new desired fund is a disaster support project for small businesses that paid 1 million to 2 million won per person depending on the type of business.

As of January 27, 340,000 cases of new desired funds were determined to be ineligible, of which 249,000 cases were ineligible due to an increase in sales compared to the previous year. Compared to the 2.25 million cases that were actually paid, it is 10%, but it is said that the reverse specialty caused by Corona 19 also occurred considerably among small businesses. It seems to be a store or business that enjoys so-called corona special such as delivery and online.

The number of canceled businesses who were eligible for the’Closed Store Re-challenge Incentive’ project that the government formulated a fourth additional budget for the second pandemic of Corona 19 last year from August to September, and paralleled the new Hope Fund project (August 16 to 12, 2020 Compared to the 129992 people reported on the 9th of May), the damage of Corona 19 is’asymmetric’.

“Unlike the general economic crisis, the biggest characteristic of the coronavirus economic crisis is that the damage is not even,” said Kim So-young, a professor of economics at Seoul National University. “Because the indiscriminate payment of subsidies causes financial problems, select the targets for support as much as possible and aim it. “What to do” was concerned.

As such, even though the damage from Corona 19 differs depending on the type of business and business, and some self-employed people enjoy’special’, the politicians with votes in mind are saying that they will pay the 4th disaster support fund’as broadly as possible’ ahead of the April election. The party government is in mind to implement an additional budget of around 25 trillion won, which is a sum of 14.3 trillion won for the first round of national support and 9.3 trillion won for the third round of selective support, right after the Lunar New Year holiday.

The reason why the government is unable to come up with such a refutation to the pressure of universal payment of passports is the lack of a system for identifying income and sales for’selective payment’ at the government level. A government official said, “Although the’Tax·Employment Insurance Income Information Linkage Promotion Group’ has been launched under the Ministry of Strategy and Finance to identify income, it is difficult to construct data for selective dispensing of disaster subsidies.”

For the fifth month, the execution rate was only 48.6%, and the’Re-challenge incentive for business closures’ project, which failed in reality, is a case in which the budget was organized without accurate estimates of business closures. The status of business closure is calculated using data on local administrative licenses from the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and statistics on business closures for self-employed persons by the National Tax Service, and there is a considerable time difference in data transfer between ministries. For this reason, the party government estimated the number of closed businesses as 200,000 stores and formulated a budget, but as a result of the ex post estimate by Small Vacuum in December of last year, only 129992 were eligible for incentives. Only 76,383 people applied for incentives among the target audience due to the amount of contempt and the difficulty of the application process.
