The finance ministry also proposed to hike income tax on earnings exceeding 1 billion won a year to 45% from 42% currently, which will help offset the expected loss in revenue from changes in the capital gains tax. Policy tweaks aim to “better support retail investors and help them build up financial wealth amid low interest rate environment,” the ministry said in a statement.

South Korea’s retail investors poured over 30 trillion won into local shares in the first six months of the year, the largest on record for comparable periods.has gained more than 50% from the year's lows as investors seek to buy into a cheapened market, backed by ample liquidity amid record low interest rates.
